JAGDISH SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB . — C.A. No. 134/2010

Summary: C.A. No. 000134/2010 (Jagdish Singh v. State of Punjab) Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed Jagdish Singh's appeal on 26 September 2013. The Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's dismissal of his 2007 writ petition, finding he improperly sought additional pension benefits by filing successive litigation rather than raising all claims together in his earlier 1992 suit. Key Issue: Singh had previously won Suit No. 751 of 1988 (decreed 1992) claiming military service credit for pension purposes. He then filed a new writ petition in 2007 claiming additional benefits for an extended service period—claims he could have raised earlier. The Court held that parties cannot "litigate from time to time seeking some relief at one time, and part of it on another occasion."
