Petitioner Lal Chand filed a petition seeking to quash condition 1 of the Instructions dated 06‑08‑1993 concerning the option for counting work charge service. Respondents UHBVN Ltd. & others argued that the petitioner had retired on 31‑08‑2005 and may no longer be alive, invoking the doctrine of lapse of time. The Hon’ble Justice Aman Chaudhary disposed of the petition, reserving the petitioner liberty to revive the case by demonstrating that the cause of action still subsists.
