Judgment:
IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Letters Patent Appeal No.1083 of 2014 (O&M) DATE OF DECISION: 08.07.2014 Hitesh Chopra …..Appellant versus Amrinder Singh and others .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SANJAY KISHAN KAUL,CHIEF JUSTICE HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI Present: Mr.Vipin Mahajan, Advocate for the appellant Mr.Amar Vivek, Advocate for respondent No.1 Mr.Chetan Mittal, Senior Advocate with Mr.Puneet Gupta, Advocate for respondents No.5 & 6 Mr.Deepinder S.
Patwalia, Senior Advocate with Mr.B.S.Patwalia, Advocate Mr.Ravi Kant Sharma, Advocate .SANJAY KISHAN KAUL, CHIEF JUSTICE (Oral).CM-2441-LPA/2014 (For Condonation of 65 days delay in filing).The application has been filed seeking Condonation of delay of 65 days in filing the appeal.
The appellant was not even a party in the proceedings from which the impugned order arises but had moved an application seeking impleadment.
Even no application had been filed for leave to appeal despite the fact that the appellant had not been impleaded formally as a party.
Be that as it may, in an education matter, a party cannot be permitted to sit by the wayside for a long period of Chand Parkash 2014.07.08 14:42 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document LPA-1083-2014 - 2 - time as it causes prejudice to otheRs.It is the own case of the appellant that he was watching the outcome of proceedings in LPA- 535-2014 and when certain suggestions were mooted to settle the dispute, he got the idea to file the appeal so as to claim a better right than the appellant therein.
This can hardly be a reason for condoning the delay and that too of a long period of 65 days in an education matter.
Dismissed.
Appeal and pending applications: Dismissed.
