Authority: High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh
Order Date: 07 July 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: Ripudaman and Anr (and others).
- Respondent: Haryana Kshetriya Gramin Bank Bhiwani.
- Petition sought quashing of a letter dated 29 August 2006 (Annexure P‑12) that diverted de‑reserved vacancies from the promotion quota to direct recruitment and aimed to appoint the petitioners.
- The petition argued that the letter should be set aside; however, the court observed that the petition is likely time‑barred due to the lapse of more than two decades and the absence of any interim relief.
- No interim order was recorded between the issuance of the 2006 letter and the present filing.
Final Outcome
- The bench, presided over by Hon'ble Mr. Justice Aman Chaudhary, disposed of the petition, effectively dismissing the request to quash the 2006 letter.
- The court reserved liberty to the petitioners, allowing them to seek revival of the petition should a genuine need arise in the future.
