PREFACE
Ex-servicemen are re-employed in Government, semigovernment and civil jobs in India. They are given certain
benefits after re-employment. I am an Ex-serviceman and was
re-employed as an officer in a Bank. I had served in the Indian
Air Force as a Combatant for nine years from 1963 to 1972.
National Emergency was declared by the Govt of India after
the Chinese aggression in 1962. Punjabi soldiers had valiantly
died in nations defence and civilians Punjabis had donated
maximum gold in national defence. Filmstar Balraj Sahni had
specially come to Ambala Cantt to request for donations from
public. I was then a Pre-University student at GMN College,
Ambala Cantt. I discontinued my studies and joined the IAF.
During 1965 and 1971 wars, I was at the forefront in Amritsar
and Aizwal (Mizoram), respectively. During my Air force days
I learnt a lot. IAF is real replica of India. No caste, no religion,
no regional units. All Indians mixed together, living together,
interacting together, working together. Of course minor
aberrations are always there. I also saw many men studying
and improving their qualifications and prospects in life. Many
universities permitted defence employee to appear privately.
Likewise Punjab University, Chandigarh was one of those. I
had passed my matric from P.U., Chandigarh. I did my B.A.
while in service and in 1973 joined as regular student for M.A.
in Mahindera College, Patiala.
I belong to a family of migrants from West Punjab.
During 1947 holocaust I had lost my father, two brothers and
one sister. We were dependent upon our Mamaji (uncle) who
was then posted as Post Master General of a State in India.
My elder brother was facilitated by him to get engineering
degree at Birla Engg. College, Pilani. (Raj). My uncle was very
honest and truthful person. These were virtues during the
British Raj but not so under Swaraj. He had soon realised it

Preface

after independence. We were trained by him to be honest and


truthful. That made me misfit in the society and employment.
In India if you are loyal to the country or the institution you
serve, is not good enough. You got to be loyal to your boss,
who may be corrupt, selfish and detrimental to the institution.
I could not tolerate all this. I also could not tolerate injustice.
My track was difficult one.
After few years of service and nationalisation of the
bank, I learnt that few ex-sevicemen re-employed in the bank
have been given military service benefits like increments and
promotions etc. I also applied for but was refused. I filed a
writ Petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court through
an advocate in the year 1988. The matter was getting delayed
and I appeared in person in 1994 and my writ was allowed
on merits with specific directions to the respondent bank. It
was not implemented by my employer. The present book in
hand is outcome of that struggle for implementation of that
judgement and order dt. 23.5.94, which was never ever
challenged by my employer bank. It turned out to be a waste
of time and money for about 22 years. But, nevertheless I have
also gained first hand experience of our judicial system. How
it works and how people dealing with it behave with litigants.
This is rich experience and could be called a research work.
I want to share it with conscious mind who matter in decision
making and legal fraternity both good and bad and also the
common man. I feel this case should not remain dead in dust
gathering files in Courts. It must live on in the form of a book
and reach out to public also. Individuals like me will come
and perish. It does not matter. But it must matter, when the
most important of all, justice is influenced and disgraced.
When injustice is done and tolerated slavery sets in. I quote
Justice B.N. Aggarwals observation during hearing in Supreme
Court about 23 crore PF scam case. He said :
judges have not descended from heaven but have

come from the same society which produces corrupt


politicians and corrupt babus (TOI 11.8.08, New Delhi)
The Honble judge is full of wisdom when he spoke those
words. In fact it is the society that produces good or bad
teachers, doctors, judges, politicians and bureaucrats etc. Still
deeper at the root is weather we produce good or bad human
beings. It is this raw material that is essential for any civilised,
good law abiding society. If this material is not good, society
would be brutish.
I have often heard advocates talk of good bench or not
so good bench etc. They even wait for new benches are
reconstituted before filing their clients petitions. I had no such
inhibitions. I respected all the judges equally but I used to sit
and enjoy and most importantly learnt how to argue my case
in the courts of Justice Jawahar Lal Gupta and Justice G.S.
Singhvi. They are excellent human beings besides being
excellent judges. However, I share my exprience to prove
advocates point of view.
My contempt of court petition filed through a senior
advocate failed to bring any positive result in this case. I filed
another writ petition in-person. Notice of motion was issued
by Division Bench of the High Court on CWP No. 5047/97
presided by Justice N.C. Jain after office note of promotion
dt. 8.1.80 of Jaswant Singh was read out before the Court
(Annexure P-1). After Completion of service, a written
statement dt 14.10.97 was filed by advocates P.S. Patwalia
and Rohit Ahuja on behalf of respondent No 2 only.
Replication filed by me was allowed to be placed on record
by D.B. presided by Justice J.L. Gupta on 22.12.97. On next
date i.e. 18.2.98 it was listed before another D.B. presided by
Justice V.K. Bali, which was unusual. Usually it is listed before
the same D.B. which had heard the case earlier and had
allowed replication to be placed on record. But without any
hesitation, doubt or reservation I argued my case and

Preface

advocate P.S. Patwalia (he is son of Justice Kuldip Singh of


Supreme Court. He was appointed Judge of High Court
Chandigarh but soon resigned) argued for respondent No 2.
The order was reserved. The decision/judgement was
pronounced on 6.3.98 without any information to the
petitioner. In person is informed by the Courts but in this case
it was not and the CWP No. 5047/97 was dismissed. However,
a munshi informed me of the Judgement. After getting copy
of judgement I found name of Namit Kumar as advocate
instead of P.S. Patwalia. Namit Kumar was not given
vakaltnama by the respondant bank therefore, it was wrong
and doubt developed in my mind.
Next step was to file an SLP in Supreme Court. It was
filed through an advocate and withdrawn for reasons given
in letter dt. 22.8.98 to Advocate (Annexure P-12, page 77)
in paper book (SLP), need no repetition here again.
A Civil writ Petition No. 16989/99 filed again for
implementation of judgement and order dt. 23.5.94, in the
High Court of Punjab and Haryana. It came up for hearing
before D.B. comprising Justice J.L. Gupta and Justice A.S.
Garg on 8.12.99. After brief hearing, Notice was issued for
24.3.2000. On next date of hearing office report said service
to respondents 2 and 3 was completed and order was passed
to them to file written statement but did not file any reply.
Again on 18.5.2000 similar order was passed but the
respondent No 2 did not file any reply. On next date my file
in the registry of the High Court was missing. On 6.8.2001
my case was listed before the D.B. comprising Justice
V.K. Bali and Justice J.S. Khehar. On that day I fell sick and
could not reach Chandigarh from Amritsar. My case was
dismissed in default by honble Mr. Justice V.K. Bali. During
my sittings in Courts I had seen many instances where none
appeared but their cases were never dimissed in default. On
the contrary I had seen in a case IN Person like me who did

not come to court and the judge ordered that next date be
informed to him. In my case on very first opportunity it was
dismissed in default. (RAGAR DITTA). However, my case was
restored after I had applied for its restoration. As a matter
of rule civil cases are restored. It was his judgement of 6.3.98
I had prayed was wrong, in this paper book (case). I felt
aggrieved at the vindictive attitude of the constitutional
authority as high as Judge. I could not tolerate it. There is
limit to toleration. I sent all the facts to H.E. the President
of India. Not that some action will come against the judge.
I knew legal limitations of the President or for that matter any
authority. But I felt satisfied that I did not bow to injustice.
That is what my Guru had taught me.
On next date i.e. 13.2.2002 my case was listed before
another D.B. None appeared for respondents, specially
respondent No. 2. I appeared and argued that respondent
No. 2 is deliberately not filling written statement inspite of
service being completed and is using delaying tactics to delay
the final decision. The Court passed the following order :
CWP No. 16989/99
Present : Baldev Singh, Petitioner-in-person.
Admitted
To be listed for arguments on 30.7.2002. Meanwhile, the
service shall be got completed.

Service was already completed. The all powerful registry


did not list the case for arguments for about 5 years, inspite
of repeated visits and requests to officials. I have learnt
through direct and indirect experience that registry officials
can be influenced for listing of cases, both delay and early

hearing in rare cases. CBI had arrested three employees of


registry of Supreme Court for listing of case early for
considerations. (TOI 11.2.09) I would be writing more in my
two other books titled, Pangs of a petitioner for justice and
Scam of illegal promotions. (Both these books are under
preparation.) The respondent No. 2 filed its written statement
dt. 19.3.07 after seven years of service of Notice and case
decided on 28.3.07. It was dismissed on ground of
maintainability. However, on merits it was admitted that
respondent No 3, Jaswant Singh was given military service
benefits. I must confess to the greatness of Justice S.N.
Aggarwal for having admitted the truth and virtually reversing
the order passed by the D.B. presided by Justice V.K. Bali on
6.3.98. Guru Nanak said, Truth is higher, still higher is
truthful living.
The only option left for me was to petition the Honble
Supreme Court. That the much needed maintainability lay
with it.
My SLP (civil) No. 18239/07 came up for hearing before
Honble D.B. comprising Justice A.K. Mathur and Justice
Markandey Katju on 12.10.07. After brief hearing notice was
issued. Mine was the last case (Petitioner-in-Persons case is
listed in the last, a security personnel is sent along to prevent
any misconduct, {One gets feeling of hangman with him}
security pass is required to enter court room and he/she is
allowed inside the court room just a few cases before his/her
case is listed and called for hearing). It is a practice that all
cases listed for hearing are sent to concerned judges house
a day earlier so that Honble judge is able to have cursory or
thorough reading of case. What a judge reads in a paper book,
either he knows or the God. Others can imagine only. But I
have seen some judges are so through that advocates cannot
dodge them while arguing case for their clients. They are
masters of their profession and the court. All judges are so
thorough at the first hearing itself when notice is issued or

the petition is dismissed, the decision has to be taken on


merits of each case. Therefore, negligence is not appreciated
by Bar members.
After notice, my case was listed before the Court of the
Registrar S.G. Shah on 3.12.07. (earlier cases used to be listed
before judges courts. One CJI changed it to be listed before
Registrars till service is completed. It reduces the workload
of judges). When judiciary is alert and sees through the game
of delaying tactic of respondents it passes orders like the one
reproduced below. It reflects positive and determined approach
of the Registrar. But, all the five fingers are not equal
example stands good for us Indians.
The order reads as follows :
Date 03.12.2007
This Petition was called on for
hearing today.
For Petitioner (s)In Person
For Respondent (s)
Mr. Gagan Deep Sharma, Adv.
For Mr. Ajay Pal, Adv.
UPON hearing counsel the Court made the following
ORDER
Issue fresh notice upon respondent No. I and 3, without
additional process fee and spare copies of pleadings,
which is to be sent through the concerned District Court
of Delhi for effecting service upon unserved Respondent
Nos 1 and 3, with a direction to the serving officer to
affix the notice at the given address, if the notice could
not be served in due course. However, petitioner is
directed to serve the copies of the pleadings to the
concerned Advocates who have filed their appearance in
the matter.
Mr. Gagan Deep Sharma, learned Advocate appearing on
behalf of Mr. Ajay Pal, Advocate-on-Record accepts
notice for Respondent No 2 and seeks time to file
Vakalatnama and Counter Affidavit.
They may do so before 12 th February, 2008.

List the matter on 12th February, 2008.


(S.G. SHAH)
Registrar.
This Order had come after I had prayed that on same
addresses notices were served in High Court. Now it could be
delaying tactics of respondent No 2.
Again on 15.4.08, even after completion of service
respondent No 2 prayed for time. The Court passed the
following order :
Sufficient time has been granted to respondent No 2
for filling the Counter Affidavit. Hence, no further
time can be granted by this Court. List the matter
before the Honble Court.
(S.G. SHAH)
Registrar.
On 14.7.08 my case was listed before Honble Court of
Justice A.K. Mathur and Justice J.M. Panchal and the
following order was passed :
Learned Counsel for the Punjab and Sind Bank
(respondent No 2 herein) had handed over a copy of
the Counter Affidavit to the petitioner appearing in
person. Petitioner, appearing in person prays for four
weeks time for filling rejoinder affidavit and submits
that the matter may be listed for final disposal
thereafter.
Let rejoinder affidavit be filed within four weeks. Put
up for final disposal thereafter.
As luck would have it, Justice A.K. Mathur retired soon
after. Now the role of registry became crucial. Last order
passed on 14.7.08 had Justice J.M. Panchal as second judge
but when the Notice was issued second judge was Justice
Markandey Katju. What the rules of listing of SC Registry say
I do not know but on next date my case was listed before

Justice Altamas Kabir and Justice Markandey Katju. When my


case came up for final disposal on 29.8.08 Justice Markandey
Katju insisted that the case be remanded back to High Court
because it is passed by Single Bench (reader may kindly note
that he had issued notice on 12.10.07 being second judge, on
that day itself it should have been remanded) When I prayed
that I may be allowed to read out impugned order, Justice
Altamas Kabir permitted me (so nice of him). From the
impugned order I read out that
Thereafter, he had filed CWP No 5047 of 1997. It was
dismissed by the honble Division Bench of this court
on 6.3.1998 (Annexure P-10) by passing a detailed
judgement.
But still Justice Markandey Katju was unmoved, therefore, my
case was remanded back to High Court, though it was ordered
to be listed for final disposal by earlier D.B. of Honble
Supreme Court itself. And also not withstanding my pleadings
that I am a Senior Citizen and such cases are decided on
priority. Therefore proverb justice delayed is justice denied,
has been changed to justice disgraced. Not only that it is
repeatedly disgraced. To me it is like repeated rape of justice.
Later on I have read in newspapers that Single Bench
cases are heard and decided by Honble Supreme Court. Two
prominent cases I would like to mention here. Firstly, Justice
Nadira Patherya of Calcutta High Court had passed an order
against BCCI officials. Times of India of November 22, 08
reports, Pawar, BCCI move Supreme Court against Calcutta
HC Order. And SC stayed the order on 5.12.08. Secondly,
Justice Ranjit Singh Randhawa of Punjab and Haryana High
Court had passed an order in the case of Anurag Saxena, SS
Virk etc. It was stayed by Apex Court (The Tribune 15.2.09).
There may many many more examples. There is Punjabi
proverb KAON AKHE RANIE AGGA DHAK (who can dare tell
the queen, cover your naked front).

Preface

Never mind, an order is order and has to be obeyed. I


filed an LPA No 292/08 in Punjab and Haryana High Court
and it came up for hearing before Honble D.B. comprising
of Justice Ashutosh Mohunta and Justice Nirmaljit Kaur. They
issued Notice and made favourable observations in their order
also. They had no inhibitions about maintainablity but issued
notice on merits (Annexure P-17) dt. 27.2.09. But when it
came before D.B. presided by Justice J.S. Khehar (He is now
judge at Supreme Court and is likely to be first Sikh CJI) it
attained different color altogether. He was junior to Justice
V.K. Bali at the High Court in the same division banch. This
constitutional authority, before I could open my mouth for
arguments threatened me with heavy costs. He had no
consideration for oath of office, which says no ILL-WILL, no
consideration for Supreme Courts directions dt 29.8.08,
observation of another D.B. of High Court who had issued
notice and that respondent No 2 had not filed reply to the
notice issued by High Court. However, he admitted in his
judgement that respondent No 3, Jaswant Singh was given
military service benefits twice and the same are denied to
Baldev Singh. That is what my case was ! This is clear
violation of article 14 and 16 of the constitution and the order
dt. 23.5.94 of the High Court.
Judgements are displayed on internet for every one to
read but this judgement in not displayed on high Courts
internet.
Aggrieved, I sent facts to my former Supreme Commander,
the President of India.
One last legal remedy was avilable to me. I filed Special
Leave Petition (Civil) No 160/10 in the Honble Supreme
Court in the hope that my case would be heard and decided
on merits. My case came up for hearing before D.B. presided
by Justice Altamas Kabir at about 1810 hrs on 8.2.10. (He
is popular with advocates. He hears them with patience and
sits till all cases are heard, time is no limitation for him. He

is sure to become Chief Justice of India. He is nephew of Prof.


Humayun Kabir (Bengali Bhadra Lok), a secular intellectual
and Cabinet Minister of Nehru era.)
While I was arguing my case on merits, Honble presiding
Judge told me, you have made series of complaints against
judges, no intervention, dismissed. My reply was, I had
merely stated facts. Then I prayed that my case may be heard
on merits. Then he repeated No, dismissed. If my complaints
against judges are false/wrong then I should be proceeded
against but case should have been decided on merits.
Then again I prayed, My Lord, If Supreme Court is not
going to hear my case on merits then who will, where should
I go.
There was no response from Honble Supreme Court. I
argued, My lord, my case was remanded back to High Court
by Supreme Court. I was arguing in High Court on the
directions of this Court, costs of Rs 10000/- has been imposed
on me. Kindly refund that amount.
Justice Altamas Kabir, Mr. Baldev Singh, you have made
series of complaints against judges. No intervention, dismissed.
In another judgement Justice Altmas Kabir had held that;
technicalties could not stand in the way, particularly if the
order would result in injustice. He further said, the Supreme
Court had the inhearent powers to correct the injustice.
My last words were, Grateful, my lord and I bowed a
little before highest judicial authority of india i.e. Bharat and
made my exit from the Court room. A security man was
behind me. Another security personnel was sitting between
me and the Honble Judges, facing me. They were on duty
to see that I do not misbehave with Honble judge. I am an
disciplined, civilised and God fearing man, but fearless when
fighting for truth and Justice. In fact I was expecting another
impositions of costs. God saved me. But while coming out, an
English proverb croped up in my mind, Birds of same feather
fly together. This proverb was used by Honble SC while

Preface

confirming death sentence on Kehar Singh, convict in murder


case of Mrs. Indira Gandhi.
Justice is legal right of every petitioner/litigant but he/
she is at the mercy of advocates and judges. If he/she is lucky,
will come across good and honest advocate but if unlucky like
me will pay money and also get injustice. System is not so
bad as some say, but it is people dealing with it are good or
bad. If senior officers/executives do not act arbitrarily, half
of litigation will come down in courts. If senior officers/
executives do not act arbitrarily half the litigation will come
down in courts. It has gone from bad to worst. There is no
other alternative nor any escape. An advocate after reading
this book told me, It was not expected from Justice Kabir.
One law Minister says, In-house mechanism has failed (The
Tribune, Feb. 24,09), another Law minister differs with him
(The Tribune, Feb. 16, 2010). Both ministers of same
Government but different individuals. No early solution is also
in sight, Hence, this book for those who are concerned about
justice, truth, honesty and also those who are concerned
about the future of this country. If this can happen to
individual like me it can happen to any body/others also. So
many jurists have complained against judges. Now their cases
should also be not heard and decided on merits. Those jurists
are powerful but I am an weak individual. Eminent jurist Fali
S. Nariman said, with few exceptions, the higher judiciary
tends to stick together when anyone speaks of wrong doing
amongst them, even though they themselves know the truth.
I would describe it as a spirit of trade unioniusm. Judges have
wrapped themselves in a clock of inviolability (India Today).
Where is equality guaranteed in the Constitution of largest
democracy in the world ? Our constitution is defied, disobeyed
and defiled by those who have taken oath to protect it, respect
it, and impliment it.

CORAM : HONBLE MR. JUSTICE J.S. KHEHAR.


HONBLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE
MASIH
Present : Mr. Baldev Singh appellant in person.
Mr. I.P. Singh, Advocate, for respondent
Nos. 2 and 3
J.S. KHEHAR, J. (Oral)
The very limited claim raised by the appellant is for the
grant of military service benefits, as have been granted to
one of his colleagues namely, Jaswant Singh. In this behalf,
it is pointed out that the aforesaid Jaswant Singh was
appointed as an officer in the respondent-bank on 3.12.1976.
On the basis of the military service rendered by him, he was
promoted in the first instance as Sub Manager on 6.2.1980,
and thereafter he was placed in the Middle Management
Grade Scale-II with effect from 15.12.1983. As against the
aforesaid benefits allowed to Jaswant Singh, although the
petitioner was inducted into the employment of the
respondent bank as an officer on 1.3.1977, yet he has not
been granted any benefit of his military service. Since the
aforesaid claim raised by the appellant was not granted to

Justice Disgraced

37

him, he approached this Court by filling CWP No. 5998 of


1988.* The aforesaid writ petition came to be disposed of
with a direction to the respondent-bank to consider the
claim of the appellant for military service benefits.
In compliance with the directions issued by this Court
in CWP No. 5998 of 1998, the respondent-bank considered
the claim of the appellant but did not find favour with his
claim. Accordingly, by an order dated 27.9.1994, the claim
for military service benefits was denied.
As against the order passed by the respondent-bank
dated 27.9.1994, the appellant approached this Court by
filling COCP No. 523 of 1995, bringing to the notice of this
Court the factual aspect recorded in the opening paragraph
of this order. On the basis thereof, he asserted that grave
injustice has been done to him, and the orders passed by
this Court were deliberately and intentionally disobeyed
while declining the military service benefits to him. COCP
No. 523 of 1995, was dismissed by this Court on 10.10.1995.
The appellant was however, granted liberty to avail of his
remedy in accordance with law.
Consequent upon the dismissal of COCP No. 523 of
1995, the appellant again approached this Court by filing
CWP No. 5047 of 1997. A Division Bench of this Court
passed a detailed order dismissing the aforesaid writ petition
on 6.3.1998. This Court arrived at the conclusion that the
promotion granted to Jaswant Singh was not based on the
military service rendered by him, but was based on his
merit. It also arrived at the conclusion that the Military
Service Rules relied upon by the appellant were inapplicable
to him.
* Justice G.C. Garg had allowed my CWP on merits but Justice J.S. Khehar
deliberately and wrongly quotes as disposed of legal meaning and implication
of both the orders are different.

Dissatisfied with the order passed by this Court on


6.3.1998 CWP No. 5047 of 1997, the appellant approached
the Supreme Court by filing a petition for Special Leave to
Appeal (Civil) No. 12773 of 1998. The appellant however,
instructed his counsel to withdraw the aforesaid petition for
Special Leave to Appeal. The Supreme Court accordingly
permitted the appellant to withdraw the aforesaid petition
for Special Leave to Appeal vide order dated 1.9.1998. In
doing so the prayer made by the appellant to grant him
liberty to file a revised petition was declined. The order
passed by the Supreme Court on 1.9.1998 disposing of
petition for Special Leave to Appeal (Civil) No. 12773 of
1998, is being extracted hereunder :

Shri Ujjal Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner


states that he has received instructions from the
petitioner to withdraw the S.L.P. with permission to
file a revised petition. We are not inclined to grant
permission to file a revised petition. We dismiss the
S.L.P. as withdrawn.
In view of the fact that liberty was not allowed to the
appellant to file a revised petition before the Supreme Court,
it is apparent that the remedy available to the petitioner
against the order passed by this Court dated 6.3.1998
dismissing CWP No.5047 of 1997, came to be exhausted.
With the dismissal of the aforesaid petition for Special Leave
to Appeal, the order dated 6.3.1998 attained finality.*
Despite the factual and legal position depicted
hereinabove, the appellant again approached this court by
filling CWP No.16989 of 1999. This Court declined to
entertain the aforesaid writ petition, so as to adjudicate the
merits of the claim by the appellant. In fact, the calim of
* Has court procedure (finality) over riding effect over the Constitution itself?

the appellant was declined vide order dated 28.3.1997, inter


alia, with the following observations :

The submission of the petitioner only was that some


of the points raised by the petitioner have not been
discussed in the judgement passed by the Honble
Division Bench on 6.3.1998 (Annexure P-I0). Hence
the present writ petition is maintainable.
This submission is misconceived. If some of the
points raised by the petitioner were not discussed in
the judgement dated 6.3.1998, the only remedy open
to the petitioner was to challenge the said judgement
by filing an appeal in the Honble Supreme Court.
The petitioner had filed the appeal, but that was got
dismissed by the petitioner as withdrawn. No doubt
the petitioner has sought permission of the Court to
file a fresh petition on the same cause of action, but
permission was denied by the Honble Supreme
Court. Therefore, the matter has become final at the
level of Honble Supreme Court after the passing of
the order dated 1.9.1998.
Through the present Letters Patent Appeal, the appellant
has assailed the order passed by the learned Single Judge
dated 28.3.2007 dismissing CWP No.16989 of 1999. The
appellant has argued the instant appeal by himself. His
solitary claim is, that he is fighting for justice, and that
justice should be granted to him. He prays that the same
benefits, as were allowed to one of his colleagues Jaswant
Singh details whereof have been depicted in the opening
paragraph of this order should be allowed to him as well.
We have been trying to explain to the appellant that the
order passed by this Court in CWP No. 5047 of 1997,
decided on 6.3.1998, having attained finality it was not open
to the appellant to approach this Court, and that the learned

Single judge was fully justified in dismissing CWP No. 16989


of 1999 vide order dated 28.3.2007. He was not only
disinclined to accept any advice at our hands, he also
expressed that he was not being afforded an opportunity of
hearing to make out his case on merit. We have also perused
the replication filed by the appellant by way of affidavit
wherein serious aspersions have been cast by the appellant
not only against the opposing counsel, but also against the
Honble Judge who decided CWP No.5047 of 1997.
Paragraphs 13 and 14 of the replication depicting the
accusation levelled by the appellant are being extracted
hereunder:
That the contents of the para are admitted.
However, it is pertinent to mention few facts about
this case. That Mr. P.S. Patwalia had appeared and
argued for respondent No.2 but on the Judgement
of 6.3.98 name of Mr. Namit Kumar appears. This
proves complicity of Mr. Justice V.K. Bali and Mr.
P.S. Patwalia. That this judgement was influenced
and that the respondent No.2 had in its written
statement in this case had never claimed that
Jaswant Singh was promoted on merits yet it was
decided that Jaswant Singh was promoted on merits.
That in the present Writ petition also respondent
No.2 has not claimed in any part of its Written
Statement that respondent No.3 Jaswant Singh was
promoted on merits. That SATYAMEV JAYATE
(Truth shall triumph) is basic/fundamental principal
of our Judiciary. That aggrieved by this judgement
petitioner also filed complaints to H.E. The President
of Indian Republic against Mr. Justice V.K. Bali and
Mr. P.S. Patwalia.
That the contents of this para of, writ petition are

reitrated. That the respondent No. 2 has not


specifically denied that respondent banks first
Promotions Policy was framed and notified on
12.4.1984 and that Jaswant Singh respondent No. 3
was promoted on 15.12.1983 i.e. five months before
the policy is notified, by giving him the benefits of
military service. That he superceded more than 700
senior and more meritorious officers who were,
promoted after 13 to 14 years. That new fitment
does not permit/allow automatic promotions and
extra several increments. That this factual and legal
arguments were argued before Honble Mr. Justice
V.K. Bali, who preferred to ignore it under the
influence of Mr. P.S. Patwalia,advocate for respondent
No. 2.
We have highlighted the relevant assertions contained
in the aforesaid two paragraphs.
In the first instance, it is imperative for us to adjudicate
upon the merits of the instant appeal. Having given our
thoughtful consideration to the aforesaid primary issue, we
are satisfied, that there can be no exception to the
conclusion drawn by the learned single Judge in his order
dated 28.3.2007, which has been extracted herein above.
The hearing of this case has taken over half an hour of
precious time. The appellant has unnecessarily wasted Court
time. He has without basis and foundation, levelled
accusations against the opposite counsel, he has also not
spared the Honble Presiding Judge who had disposed of
CWP No. 5047 of 1997, vide order dated 6.3.1998. In the
peculiar facts and circumstances of this case, we are satisfied
that the instant appeal deserves to be dismissed with costs.
The instant appeal is accordingly dismissed with costs
quantified at Rs. 10,000/- The aforesaid costs shall be

Court has been pleased to dismiss the LPA on the ground
of maintainability and not on merits. That the Honble High
Court has also imposed costs on the petitioner although the

b)

c)

d)

to the petitioner is not discriminatory and violates


articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India ?
Whether the action of respondent No. 2 in
granting promotions twice and giving several
extra increments to Jaswant Singh, respondent
No. 3, once before nationalisation of the Bank on
6.2.1980 and second time on 15.12.83, after
nationalisation of the Bank. Thus he had
superceded over 700 of senior and more
meritorious officers, giving him his 24 years of
military service benefits, in gross violation of
promotions regulation 17 of PSB (O) SR-82 and
denying the same benefits to the petitoner is not
illegal and violates Articles 14 and 16 of the
Constitution of India ?
Whether the action of the respondent No. 2 is
not illegal and arbitrary in not following the
Honble High Courts Order dt. 23.5.94 in CWP No.
5998/88 (Annexure P-6) and rejecting the case of
the petitioner wrongly and also not following the
only legal remedy to file an appeal in Honble High
Court or Honble Supreme Court against the Order
dt. 23.5.94 ?
Whether the OFFICE NOTE OF PROMOTION of
Jaswant Singh, respondent No. 3, when clearly
admits that he had served in the Army for 24 years
was not the ground for his promotions ? That the
same office note is reproduced as under :
The Punjab and Sind Bank Ltd.
(Regd. Office, Hall Bazar, Amritsar)
Sir,
Reg. S. Jaswant Singhofficer B/o Meerut. The
above named joined our bank as officer on

capacities. He is about 50 years old and he is a


matured officer.
He has been rated as good officer in confidential
report for the last three years. He has capacity to
shoulder higher responsibilities.
Looking into facts stated above, We are of the
opinion that he may be given a chance to work
as Sub-Manager at B/o Meerut.

Sd/30.1.80
that he was given several extra increments, paid
large amount of arrears and superceded 700 of his
more meritorious and senior officers ? That
whether the respondent No 2 can deny that
military service was not consideration for his
promotion and other benefits ?
Whether Regulation 16(1) of the Punjab and Sind
Bank Ltd-1979 is not wrongly interpreted by
Honble High Court when it says,
PROMOTIONS up to Grade II will be made on the
basis of merit having due consideration to
seniority. Promotions to Grade III and above
shall be made entirely on merits.
That the paramount consideration up to Grade-II
is seniority. That how a Junior Jaswant Singh
could supercede 700 of his senior and more
meritorious officers, if military service benefits
were not given to him ?
Whether the granting of promotions as Manager
(placed in Grade Scale-II) to Jaswant Singh,
respondent No 2, by the respondent No. 2, on
15.12.83 almost five months before Banks first
promotions policy is notified on 12.4.84 under

regulations 17 is as under :
17(1) promotions to all Grades of officers in
the Bank shall be made in accordance with
the policy laid down by the Board from time
to time, having regard to Guidelines of the
Government, if Any.
That while rejecting the claim of the petitioner
above mentioned regulation was mentioned and
it was said that new fitment was reason for his
promotion on 15.12.83. That the new fitment was
for all officers including petitioner but only
Jaswant was promoted on 15.12.83. That the
respondent No 2s rejection of petitioners claim
was false, wrong and illegal (Annexure P-7). That
the new fitment dealt with regulations 7,12,12(2)
and 13 but not 17 at all. That whether action of
the respondent No 2 is not illegal ?
Whether the action of the respondent No. 1 and 2
in granting the weightage of military service to
the ECOs/SSCOs while denying to the OTHER
RANKS who joined the military service at the call

3. DECLARATION IN TERMS OF RULE 4 (2)

16

That the petitioner has not filed any other petition and
is pending seeking leave to appeal against the impugned
judgement and final order of Punjab and Haryana High
Court dt. 25.5.09 in the matter of LPA No 292/08 in CWP
No. 16989/99, in this Honble Supreme Court.
4. DECLARATION IN TERMS OF RULE 6
That the Annexures P-1 to P-17 produced along with
the SLP(C) are true copies of the documents which formed
part of the record of the case LPA No 292/08 in CWP No.
16989/99 in Honble Punjab and Haryana High Court at
Chandigarh, against whose impugned judgement and final
order dt. 25.5.09 the leave to appeal is sought for in this
petition.
5. GROUNDS :
I)

Because the Honble D.B. of the High Court has


erred and dismissed the LPA NO. 292/08 in CWP
No. 16989/99 without going into the merits of the
case and passed the impugned order dt. 25.5.09
dismissing the appeal on ground of maintainability
although the case was remanded back to High
Court by the Honble Supreme Court vide its order
dt. 29.8.08. (Annexure P-15)
II) Because the High Court has erred not to appreciate
that the respondent No 2 had not filed any reply/
written statement in LPA No 292/08 in CWP No.
16989/99, therefore, admitted the facts of the
case. That respondent No. 1 and 3 had never ever
submitted any written statement, therefore, had
never contested the case.
iii) Because the Honble High Court has erred to

PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com

Justice Disgraced

49

17

ignore the averments of the petitioner on law and


the facts in the case and did not decide the case
on merits.
iv) Because Honble D.B. of Punjab and Haryana High
Court while passing the final order dt. 25.5.09
has erred and failed to take note of order
passed by another Honble D.B. on 27.2.09 while
issuing Notice of Motion. That the same order is
Annexure P-17. That no material change had
taken place because the respondent No. 2 had not
filed any reply to the Notice issued by Honble
High Court in the case.
v) Because the Honble D.B. of the High Court had
admitted in its impugned order dt. 25.5.09 that
the respondent No 3, Jaswant Singh had been
given military service benefits but had not passed
order on merits but dismissed on ground of
maintainability therefore, erred in deciding the
case in accordance with the law.
vi) Because the Honble High Court has erred
in imposing costs on the petitioner for seeking
justice and had filed LPA No 292/08 on
the directions of the Honble Supreme Court
dt 29.8.08 (Annexure P-15). That the costs would
be imposed on petitioner was told by Honble
presiding Judge to the petitioner at the outset
before petitioner had started his arguments in the
case.
vii) Because the Honble High Court erred in not
appreciating the averments of the petitioner that
his advocate in Honble Supreme Court had not
included seven vital points in his SLP (C)
No. 12773/98 therefore, had to write him a letter
(Annexure P-12) to withdraw the SLP with the

PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com

Justice Disgraced

18

permission to file fresh petition IN PERSON but


advocate misrepresented the case in Court and the
petitioner could not enter the Court Room due to
security reasons and tell the Honble Court In
PERSON about the complicity of my advocate.
That the petitioner REGD. Letter to advocate is
Annexure P-12 with this SLP.
viii) Because the Honble D.B. of the High Court
has erred and wrongly refers to allowed
petition on merits as disposed of. That the CWP
no 5998/88 was allowed on merits on 23.5.94
(Annexure P-6) with specific directions that if
Jaswant Singh is given military service benefits
then the petitioners case/claim be considered.
That meaning of disposed of and allowed on
merits are different in legal parlance. That wrong
word used or wrong interpretation of a word can
cause serious damage to the petitioner.
ix) Bacause the Honble D.B. of the High Court erred
to ignore the directions of the Honble Supreme
Court dt 29.8.08 in SLP (C) No. 18239/07 that the
petitioners case was remanded back to High
Court, therefore, the LPA No. 292/08 in CWP No
16989/99 was filed on the directions of the Apex
Court but Honble presiding judge, when the
case was called for hearing, warned the petitioner
that, you are exploiting judicial process. We are
going to make you pay heavy costs. This was
before petitioner could open his mouth. And
Rs. 10000/- is costs imposed on petitioner for
seeking justice from the court of justice.
x) Because the Honble High Court erred not to
recognise the right of petitioner to seek justice on
merits, which is fundamental in our legal
jurisprudence.

51

19

xi) Because the Honble High Court erred not to


appreciate the arguments of the petitioner that
respondent No. 2 has failed to appeal against the
judgement and final order dt. 23.5.94 in CWP No.
5998/88 in either High Court or the Supreme
Court the legal remedy available to the respondent
No 2, therefore, the order dt. 23.5.94 stands good
for the petitioner and thus he is seeking its
implementation through judicial process in
accordance with the law.
xii) Because Honble High Court failed to appreciate
that respondent No 1 and 3 never ever submitted
written statement, therefore, admitted that Jaswant
Singh, respondent No 3, military service benefits
while promoting him on 6.2.80 and 15.12.83.
xiii) Because the Honble High Court has erred in
making wrong interpretations of the facts and
ignoring material legal issue involved in terms of
regulation 17 of the Punjab and Sind Bank
(officers) Service Regulation 1982 in its order
dt. 6.3.98 in CWP No. 5047/97. That regulation 17
is as under :
Reg. 17 (1). Promotions to all grades of
officers in the Bank shall be made in
accordance with the policy laid down by the
Board from time to time, having regard to the
Guidelines of the Govt. If any.
That Jaswant Singh, respondent No. 3, was
promoted on 15.12.83 and promotion policy
framed on 12.4.84.
xiv) Because the Honble D.B. of the High Court has
erred not to appreciate that the respondent No 2
LPA No. 292/08 in CWP No 16989/99, therefore,
no document has been filed to claim any relief in

xv)

xviii)

terms of Sec. 1-A of order VIII nor has denied


anything in the Appeal specifically and cannot
claim any relief in terms of Sec. 3 of Order VIII
of the CPC.
Because the Honble D.B. to the High Court has
erred not to appreciate petitioners averment that
the respondent No 2, in its written statements had
never claimed that Jaswant Singh, respondent
No. 3 was ever promoted on merits on 6.2.80 and
15.12.83 and superceded 700 of his senior and
more meritorious officers and gave him large
amount of arrears. That new fitment does not deal
with regulation 17 at all. That the fitment was for
all the officers including petitioner but only
Jaswant Singh was promoted on 15.12.83 and
none other. That the only consideration for the
promotion of Jaswant Singh was his 24 yearly
military service benefits.
Because the Honble High Court erred not to
consider the petitioners averment that those who
joined the Armed Forces at the call of National
Emergency are not denied the military service
benefits, when the similar benefits are extended
to ECOs/SSCOs in terms of Banks own Circular
(Annexure P-4). It violates Articles 14 and 16 of
the Constitution of India.
Because the Honble Supreme court in similar case
of National Emergency service benefits have
already laid down law in favour of the petitioner
and the Honble High Court for not granting the
benefits has erred and violated Article 141 of the
Constitution of India.
Because the Honble High Court has erred in its
ruling dt. 6.3.98 in CWP No 5047/97 that, there

PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com

Justice Disgraced

53

21

is no rule of giving military service benefits to any


one in the Bank service as such. That the Honble
D.B. has not taken note of Banks own Circulars
of 18.9.86, 17.11.86 and 13.12.86 which provide
for military service benefits to Ex-servicemen reemployed in Banks service. That proves how
casual approach was adopted while deciding the
case aforementioned.
xix) Because the remedy of appeal needs to be decided
on merits in the interest of justice and not on
technicality of maintainability. That the law
provides for justice to be delivered on merits of
the case.
6. GROUND FOR INTERIM RELIEF :
Because the Honble High Court in its impugned order
dt. 25.5.09 in LPA No. 292/08 in CWP No. 16989/99 has
imposed costs of Rs. 10000/- on the petitioner for arguing
his case on merits on the directions of the Honble Supreme
Courts order dt. 29.8.08 in SLP (C) No. 18239/07 has erred
and not obeyed the Honble Apex Courts directions. That
the petitioner has made out the prima facie case and the
balance of convenience is also in favour of the petitioner,
if the ex-parte relief interim as prayed is granted to the
petitioner, otherwise the petitioner will suffer irreparable
injury.
7. MAIN PRAYER :
In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances and
in the interest of justice it is most humbly prayed. Your
Lordship, may graciously be pleased to grant Special Leave
to Appeal to the petitioner against the judgement and
final order dt. 25.5.09 in LPA No. 292/08 in CWP No.
16989/99 passed by Honble D.B. of Punjab and Haryana

Justice Disgraced

22

High Court at Chandigarh, and pass any such order/


direction which your Lordship may deem fit and proper in
the interest of justice.
8. INTERIM RELIEF :

It is, therefore, most respectfully prayed that this


Honble Supreme Court may kindly be pleased to stay the
operation of judgement and final order dt. 25.5.09 in the
matter of LPA No. 292/08 in CWP No. 16989/99 passed by
Honble D.B. of Punjab and Haryana High Court without
going into the merits of the case but dismissed on the ground
of maintainability and imposed costs of Rs 10000/- on the
petitioner inspite of Honble Supreme Court remanding the
case back to Honble High Court in its Order dt. 29.8.08 in
SLP (C) No. 18239/97 (Annexure P-15), and pass such order
as this Honble Court may deem fit and proper in this case
and circumstances of the case.
That the petitioner is of about 65 years of age his date
of birth being 12.12.1944, is a senior citizen, this Honble
Court may consider early hearing of the case.

as from the date of their appointment, in the lowest scale
of pay applicable to the officers of the bank, at the
appropriate stage after giving the benefit of increments on
account of their past service in defence. Therefore, they will
get their past service increments for the service in the bank
in that scale and fitment in higher scale, of promoted as per
rules in force in the bank. On coming into force of PSB(O)
SR-1982, they will be notionally fitted in the new scale of

increments for service till 31.3.80. The basic pay so arrived
at will be compared with the basic pay of officer on 1.4.80,

regulations. Arrears if any, in this regard, will be payable
from 1.4.80.

C.W.P. No. 5998 of 1988
Dated the 23rd May 1994
PRESENT
THE HONBLE MR. JUSTICE G.C. GARG,
For the Petitioner : Mr. Baldev Singh, Petitioner in Person
For the Respondent :
Mr. I.S. Bajwa, Advocate for respondent No. 2
ORDER
G.C. GARG, J
Petitioner is an ex-serviceman. He served the Indian Air
Force from January 29, 1963 to January 28, 1972 as a
Combatant Member of the said Force. He was selected as an
officer in the Punjab and Sind Bank in the category of exservicemen on March 11, 1977 and was confirmed as such
on March 12, 1978. The Punjab and Sind Bank was
nationalized in the year 1980. The claim of the petitioner is
that he was entitled to the benefit of military service in the
same terms as had been granted by the said bank to one
Jaswant Singh who was directly appointed as an officer in
the Bank after being released from the armed forces. The
grouse of the petitioner is that he has been discriminated in
the matter of grant of such benefits which have been denied
to him by the bank. In para 10 of the writ petition, the
petitioner made a specific averment to the following effect:
Even one of the other ranker Shri Jaswant Singh
who was directly appointed as Officer was granted
weightage of military service and promoted to the
next higher rank long back.

Respondent No.2 filed a written statement and took


stand that the petitioner was not entitled to the
benefit of military service. Averments as made in
para 10 of the writ petition were denied as under :
Contents of para 10 are wrong and denied. The
petitioner is wrongly claiming the benefit granted to
ECOs, and SSCOs who are not in the same class as
the petitioner is. The Petitioner had worked only as
an Airman and had been relieved from the services
in the year 1972. Thereafter as an independent
outside candidate, he had joined the services of the
bank in the year 1977. Though the bank was a
private body at that time, it had given the time of
his joining. The cases cited in this paragraph are on
a completely different footing.
Contention of the petitioner is that the averments made
by him in the writ petition in respect of Jaswant Singh have
not been denied. According to the petitioner in fact Jaswant
Singh who is shown at the serial Number 753 of the seniority
list of the Managers Middle Management Grade Scale-II,
was granted the benefit of military service whereas the same
has been denied to him though he is similarly situated as
the said Jaswant Singh. The particulars of Jaswant Singh
shown at Sr. No. 753 in the seniority list aforesaid are as
follows :

Singh
After hearing learned counsel for the respondents and
the petitioner in person. I find that the contention has merit.
The respondent-bank has not denied in any part of its
written statement that aforesaid Jaswant Singh had not

been granted the benefit of Military Service nor has it been


brought out therein that the case of the petitioner is required
to be considered for the grant of benefit of military service
in the same manner as was granted to said Jaswant Singh
unless he stood on a different footing.
Consequently, the writ petition is allowed with the
direction to the respondent bank to consider the claim of
the petitioner for the grant of benefit of military service form
the due date if the aforesaid Jaswant Singh had been
granted benefits of such service and he (Jaswant Singh)
belonged to the category of ex-serviceman like the petitioner.
Let the claim of the petitioner as aforesaid be considered
within a period of six months and if he is found entitled to
such benefits, the same shall be released to him within the
next three months. No Order as to costs.

Writ Petition filed by Baldev Singh was allowed by
order dated May 23, 1994, with the direction to the bank
to consider the claim of the petitioner for grant of benefits
of military service from due date. In compliance with the
order of this court the claim of the petitioner was considered
and rejected.
The grievance of the petitioner in the contempt petition
is that his case is precisely the same as that of Jaswant Singh
and he has been wrongly denied the relief. Be that as it may,
it is not necessary to go into this question in contempt
proceedings. The Order of this court has been complied
with. It will, however, be open to the petitioner to challenge
the order declining him the benefit of military service in
appropriate proceedings according to law.

Baldev Singh
VS
Union of India and ors.
Dt. The 6th March, 1998
The Honble Mr. Justice V.K. Bali
The Honble Mr. Justice M.L. Singhal
Present : Petitioner in Person
Mr. Namit Kumar, Advocate
V.K. Bali. J. (Oral)
Baldev Singh, an officer of the Stationary Department,
Punjab and Sind Bank, through present petition filed by him
under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, seeks issuance
of writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents
to grant him the benefit of military service at the call of
National Emergency by way of fixation of his pay after grant
of increments and seniority for the purpose of promotions
as granted to the ECOs/SSCOs appointed as officers in the
Bank and other similarly situated persons.
Brief facts, on which the relief asked for, is sought to
rest, reveal that petitioner was appointed directly as Officer
with the respondent Bank on March 11, 1977. He was
confirmed in service on March 12, 1978. Way back in 1986
petitioner applied for grant of ex-serviceman benefits and
when even after the long correspondence that ensured for
that purpose, petitioner got no relief, he filed a Civil Writ
Petition in this Court. The said writ petition came to be
decided on May 23, 1994 by a learned Single Judge of this
Court. Operative part of the said judgement reads this :
After hearing learned counsel for the respondents
and the petitioner in person. I find that the

contention has merit. The respondent-bank has not


denied in any part of its written statement that
aforesaid Jaswant Singh had not been granted the
benefit of Military Service nor has it been brought
out therein that the case of Jaswant stood on a
different footing than the petitioner. In the
circumstances, I am of the view that the case of the
petitioner is required to be considered for the grant
of benefit of military service in the same manner as
was granted to said Jaswant Singh unless he stood
on a different footing.
Consequently, the writ petition is allowed with the
direction to the respondent bank to consider the claim
of the petitioner for the grant of benefit of military
service from the due date if the aforesaid Jaswant
Singh had been granted benefits of such service and
he (Jaswant Singh) belonged to the category of exserviceman like the petitioner. Let the claim of the
petitioner as aforesaid be considered within a period
of six months and if he is found entitled to such
benefits, the same shall be released to him within the
next three months. No order as to costs.
On consideration of the matter by the concerned
authorities as directed by this Court, the petitioner lost his
cause and, therefore, the present writ.
At this stage, all that has been contended by the
petitioner, who appears in person, is that judgement dated
May 23, 1994 is binding between the parties and when
Jaswant Singh was granted the military service benefits,
respondent Bank had no option but to grant the same
benefits to the petitioner as well.
Pursuant to notice issued by this Court, respondent
No. 2 entered defense and opposed the cause of the
petitioner. It has, inter-alia, been pleaded that no benefits

42

of military service were given to Jaswant Singh and,


therefore, the case of petitioner was rightly rejected vide
orders dated September, 27, 1994 (Annexure P-13). At the
time when petitioner entered service of the respondent
Bank, the bank was in a private sector and later on the bank
was nationalized in the year 1980. No benefit of service
rendered by Jaswant Singh with the Armed Forces was given
to him while placing him as Sub-Manager or in placing him
in Scale II on fitment on introduction of new service
regulations or in the matter of promotion. After
nationalization of the Bank on April 15, 1980, the service
conditions of the officers employed by the Bank are
governed by the Punjab and Sind Bank Officers Service
Regulations, 1982. The service regulations were statutory in
nature as framed by the Board of Directors of the Bank in
exercise of the powers conferred on them by Section 19 of
the Banking Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of
Undertakings) Act, 1980. The promotions of Officers from
one grade to another were governed by Regulation 17 of the
said service rules. The promotion policy is also framed by
the Board of Directors of the Bank having regard to the
Government guidelines in exercise of the statutory powers.
No benefit in service in Armed Forces was to be extended
in promotion of the officers from one grade to other in terms
of the said statutory regulations.
In the light of the pleadings of the parties, as have been
noted above, the only question that needs to be determined
is as to whether Jaswant Singh had got the benefits of
Military Service and if so, as to whether the petitioner is also
entitled to be said relief. Before we may comment upon the
controversy involved in this case, as has been referred to
above, it requires to be mentioned that whatever order was
passed in favour of Jaswant Singh*, which we will later
delve upon, the same came to be passed before the Bank

75

43

was nationalized and after the nationalization of the Bank,


concededly, service conditions of the employees of the Bank
are governed by the Regulations, as has been mentioned
above. Before there to, Regulations 13, 16 and 3E dealing
with appointment and promotion were as follows :
13. All appointments in, and promotion to officers
grade shall be made by competent authority.
16(1) Promotions upto grade II will be made on the
basis of merit having due regard to seniority.
Promotions to Grade III and above shall be made
entirely on merit.
3(e) Competent Authority means Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of the Bank or any other
officer designated for the purpose by him."
In so far as promotion upto Grade II is concerned, the
same is to be on the basis of merit having due regard to
seniority. Order benefiting Jaswant Singh reads as follows :
The above named joined our Bank as Officer on
3.12.1976. Before joining our bank he was in Indian
Army and served there upto about 24 years in
different capacities. He is about 50 years old and is
a matured officer.
He has been rated as good officer in the confidential
reports for the last three years. He has capacity to
shoulder higher responsibilities.
Looking into facts stated above, we are of the
opinion that he may be given a chance to work as
Sub Manager at Branch Office Meerut.
* Promotion Reg 17 is violated and Jaswant Singh promoted on
15.12.83. Please see para XIII and XV of SLP pages 50 and 51.
However, order dt. 28.3.07 and 25.5.09 admitted that Jaswant Singh
got military service benefits.

PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com

76

Justice Disgraced

44

It is this order which is stated to have benefitted


Jaswant Singh and that too for the reason that he was earlier
in Army. As mentioned above, the positive case of the
respondent-bank is that no military service benefit was given
to said Jaswant Singh.
After hearing learned counsel for the parties and
going through the records of the case and, in particular,
Annexure P-10, dated January 30, 1980, promoting or
posting Jaswant Singh as Sub Manager, we are quite
convinced that the said officer did not get any benefit on
account of his having earlier served in Army. It is true that
while passing order, Annexure P-10, it was mentioned that
before joining the services of the Bank, the said officer was
in the Army. Promotion at the time was not dependent upon
the service rules and merit being a paramount consideration,
even a junior could score over his senior. The rule dealing
with promotion has since already been reproduced above. It
appears to us that primarily considering that Jaswant Singh
had been rated a good officer in his confidential reports for
the last three years and had capacity to shoulder higher
responsibilities, he was appointed as Sub-Manager and if
while doing so, he had superseded some of his seniors, as is
the case of the petitioner, it can not be said that it was only
on account of Jaswant Singh getting military service benefit.
True, as mentioned above, while passing order, it was
mentioned that Jaswant Singh had earlier served in Army.
There is no rule of giving military service benefit to any one
in the bank service as such. It is only if the Punjab National
Emergency Rules were extended to a particular institute that
one can get the benefits contained in the said Rules. Binding
of such rules, the service put in by a particular person and that
too during emergency is counted while computing the service
of the State in Civil Service. His date of appointment is, thus,
deemed to be by going back for the years that he had put in

45

armed service and accordingly, if he earns promotion, the


same is given on the deemed date. Nothing as such was done
when order. Annexure P-10 posting Jaswant Singh as SubManager was passed on January 30, 1980.
We find no merit in his petition and dismiss the same,
leaving however, the parties to bear their own costs.

Singh had been granted benefits of such service and
he (Jaswant Singh) belonged to the category of exservicemen like the petitioner. Let the claim of the
petitioner as aforesaid be considered within a period
of Six months and if he is found entitled to such
benefits, the same shall be released to him within the
next three months. No order as to costs.
It was submitted by the petitioner that the said order
has not been complied with by the respondents.
Hence, this writ petition.
On the other hand, the learned counsel for the
respondents submitted that vide order dated
23.5.1994, this court had directed the respondents to
consider the claim of the petitioner for the grant of
the benefit of military service. In compliance with the
said order, the respondents had considered the claim
of the petitioner, but the same was rejected vide
order dated 27.9.1994 (Annexure P-5). The said
order was challenged by the petitioner by filing the
contempt petition (COCP No. 523 of 1995). However,
it was dismissed by this Court vide order dated
10.10.1995 by passing the following operative order :
"The grievance of the petitioner in the contempt
petition is that his case is precisely the same as was
that of Jaswant Singh and he has been wrongly
denied the relief. But that as it may, it is not
necessary to go into this question in contempt
proceedings. The order of this court has been
complied with. This contempt petition is dismissed
and rule is discharged. It will however be open to
the petitioner to challenge the order declining him
the benefit of military service in appropriate
proceedings according to law.

Thereafter, the petitioner had filed CWP No. 5047 of


1997. It was dismissed by the Honble Division Bench of this
Court on 6.3.1998 (Annexure P-10) by passing a detailed
judgement. The petitioner filed Special Leave to Appeal
(Civil) No. 12773 of 1998. It was dismissed by the Hon ble
Supreme Court on 1.9.1998 (Annexure P-12) as withdrawn.
The submission of the learned counsel for the
respondents was that since the claim of the petitioner was
rejected by the Honble Division Bench of this Court by
passing a detailed judgement on 6.3.1998 (Annexure P-10)
and the SLP flied against this order was got dismissed as
withdrawn by the petitioner on 1.9.1998 (Annexure P-12),
therefore, this writ petition is not maintainable.
The submission of the petitioner only was that some
of the points raised by the petitioner have not been discussed
in the judgement passed by the Honble Division Bench on
6.3.1998 (Annexure P-10). Hence the present writ petition
is maintainable.
This submission is misconceived. If some of the points
raised by the petitioner were not discussed in the judgement
dated 6.3.1998, the only remedy open to the petitioner was
to challenge the said judgement by filing an appeal in the
Honble Supreme Court. The petitioner had filed the appeal;
but that was got dismissed by the petitioner as withdrawn.
No doubt the petitioner has sought permission of the Court
to file a fresh petition on the same cause of action, but
permission was denied by the Honble Supreme Court.
Therefore, the matter has become final at the level of Honble
Supreme Court after the passing of the order dated 1.9.1998.
The present writ petition obviously is not maintainable.
Dismissed.

Honble LD. single judge Bench deserves to be reversed and

GROUNDS OF APPEAL
i.

ii.

Because the Honble Single Bench has erred in Law


and facts and has not passed judgement and final
order dt. 28.3.07 on merits in the matter of CWP
No. 16989/99 but on maintainability. Although
the Honble Justice S.N Aggrawal had admitted in
its order that Jaswant Singh, respondent No 3 had
been given military service benefits, therefore, the
impugned order is wrong.
Because the Honble Ld.Single Bench has erred in
not appreciating the averments of the petitioner
that seven vital points were not included in the
SLP (C) No. 12773/98 by his advocate, through

v.

whom the petition was filed, the petitioner had to


write him by Regd. Post letter dt. 22.8.98 to
withdraw the SLP (C)with the permission to file
revised petition.
Because the Honble Ld. Single Bench has erred in
not appreciating the facts mentioned in Annexure
P-7, without vital points the SLP (C) No. 12773/
98 would have failed on merits. That the
advocates complicity in the matter was timely
noted by the petitioner. That the petitioner could
not enter the court for security reasons to
personally argue the case and tell the truth in the
matter to the Honble D.B. of the Supreme Court.
But still the justice was wanting.
Because the Honble High Court erred in not
appreciation the petitioners averments in the
replication dt.28.3.07 that no new grounds were
added in the CWP No.16989/99 nor were any
pointed out by the respondent No 2 in its written
statement. That the Honble Supreme Courts
order dt 1.9.98 (Annexure p-8) is not violated in
any manner, whatsoever.
Because the Honble High Courts Single Judge
erred in not appreciating the argument of the
petitioner that the respondent No2 has failed to
appeal against the judgement and order dt.
23.5.94 in the CWP No. 5998/88 allowed in
favour of petitioner, either in Honble High Court
or in Honble Supreme Court in accordance with
law, therefore, admitted that Jaswant Singh,
respondent No. 3 was given military service
benefits when promoted on 6.2.80 and 15.12.83
that when Jaswant Singh was promoted he
superseded more than 700 of his seniors and

58

more meritorious officers and large amount of


arrears were paid to him on account of his 24
years of military service.
vi. Because the Honble Ld. Single Bench erred not to
appreciate the argument of the petitioner that
only respondent No.2 had filed its written and the
respondent No.1 and 3 did filed written statement
even after completion of service to them. That it
is also pertinent to mention here that even Honble
Supreme Court in the matter of SLP (C)No.
18239/07 service to the respondent No. 1 and 3
was completed, they did not file their respective
Counter Affidavits, therefore, admitted the fact
that Jaswant Singh was given military service
benefits.
vii. Because the Honble Single Bench erred in
its impugned order dt. 28.03.07 in CWP NO.
16989/99 to appreciate Jaswant Singh, respondent
No. 3 was promoted on 6.2.80 when the respondent
Bank was in private sector and again on 15.12.83
when the respondent Bank was nationalized on
15.4.80. both time giving him the military service
benefits.
viii. Because the Honble Single Bench erred in not
appreciating the petitioners averment that the
order dt. 6.3.98 in CWP NO. 5047/97 had wrongly
interpreted the Office Notice of promotion of
Jaswant Singh (Annexure P-9). Respondent No. 3
and the promotion regulation 16 (1) of the PSB
(Officers) Service Reg. 1979, which reads
as below:
Promotions upto Grade-II will be on the basis of
merit having due regard to seniority. Promotions
to Grade-III and above shall be made on merits.

And had also ignored that after Nationalization


promotion Regulation l7 and Promotions Policy
dt. 12.4.84 were effective. That military service
benefits were given superseding 700 officers.
Because the Honble Single Bench erred in not
deciding the case on merits that when Jaswant
Singh, respondent No.3 was promoted on 15.12.83
then promotion regulation 17 of Punjab and Sind
Bank (officers) Service REG. 1982 were in force.
Reg 17 (1). Promotions to all Grades of officers
in the Bank shall be made in accordance with the
policy laid down by Board from time to time,
having regard to Guidelines of the Government,
if any.
That the respondent, Banks first Promotions
Policy 1984 was notified on 12.4.1984 almost four
months after Jaswant Singh was promoted (placed
in Scale - II) on 15.12.83 giving him 24 years of
his military services benefits and paid him large
amount of arrears. That new fitment was for all
officers including petitioner but only Jaswant
Singh was promoted on 15.12.83.
Because the Honble Single Bench has erred to not
to appreciate the petitioners averment that the
respondent No. 2 in its written statement filed in
the matter of CWP No. 16989/99 and also in the
matter of CWP No. 5047/97 had never claimed
that Jaswant Singh, respondent No.3 was promoted
on merits on 6.2.80 and 15.12.83, respectively,
therefore, it is admitted that his promotions were
purely made on the basis of his 24 years of military
service benefits and large amount of arrears were
paid to him both times.
Because the Honble Single Bench erred to not to

appreciate that the order dt. 6.3. 98 in CWP No.


5047/97 had not reversed the order dt. 23.5.94
in CWP No. 5998/88, therefore, the Order dt.
23.5.94 stands and the petitioner is legally right/
correct to seek its implementation.
Because the Honble Single Bench erred in not
appreciating the petitioners averment that the
respondent.No 2, while filling written statement
had not annexed any document to claim any relief
in terms of sec. I-A of order VIII of CPC.
Because the Honble Single Bench has erred in not
appreciating that the respondent No.2 had not
specifically denied in terms of Sec. 3 Order VIII
of the CPC that Jaswant Singh, respondent No.3
had not been given military service benefits while
promoting him on 6.2.80 and after Nationalization
of the bank on 15.12.83 and that he had
superseded 700 of his senior and more meritorious
officers and was paid large amount of arrears on
both the occasions.
Because the Honble Single Bench has erred in not
appreciating the patitioners averment that those
who had joined the Armed Forces at the call of
National Emergency are not denied military
service benefits. That the Order dt. 6.3.98 had
wrongly observed that, there is no rule of giving
military service benefits to anyone in the Bank
services as such. In fact, on the contrary, there are
Circulars dt. 18.9.86, 17.11.86 and 13.12.86 for
granting of various benefits to Ex-serviceman.
That the relevant Staff Cir. No. 1626 dt. 13.12.86
is Annexure P-11 with this LPA.
Because the Honble Single Bench erred in not
deciding the case on merits on 28.3.2007 but on

maintainability. That it is pertinent to mention


here that in Honble Supreme court also respondent
No. 2 shirked to argue the case on merits. That
the respondent No 2 is expert in using methods
not permitted in law. But the petitioner believes
in SATYAMEV JAYTE. Truth is very powerful
weapon to destroy evil designs.
It is, most respectfully prayed that this Letters Patent
Appeal may please be allowed and the order passed by
Learned Single Judge Bench dismissing the Writ Petition not
on merits but on maintainability be set aside and the writ
petition filed by the petitioner may kindly be allowed with
costs. That it is further prayed that the petitioner is senior
citizen of 64 years. His date of birth being 12.12.44. That
the case may kindly be accorded priority in accordance with
the procedure of the Honble High Court.

3. That even after completion of service none of the three
respondents filed and reply/written statement to the
Notice Issued by Honble D.B. of the High Court,
especially respondent No. 2, the main contesting
respondent in the case. Therefore, admitted the facts
of the case.
4. That on 25.5.09 LPA No. 292/08 in CWP No.
16989/99 was listed before Honble D.B. comprising
Justice J.S. Khehar and Justice Uma Nath Singh.
However, Justice Uma Nath Singh took leave on that
date and another Honble Judge sat along with Justice
J.S. Khehar. That as soon as my case was called out
for hearing, Justice J.S. Khehar told me that I am
exploiting Judicial process and that heavy costs would
be imposed upon me. This was before I as petitionerin-person could open his mouth for arguments. This
shows how the frame of mind of Justice J.S. Khehar
was. That he had already developed ILL-WILL towards
me. That he had lots of discussion with his brother
Judge and in the end did not decide my case on merits
but dismissed on ground of maintainability and also
imposed costs of Rs. 10000/-, which as an obedient
citizen and petitioner has paid the amount. That the
copy of final judgement and Order dt. 25.5.09 in the
matter of LPA No 292/08 in ANNEXURE C-4 with this
complaint for ready reference.
PRAYERS :
That in view of the facts stated above is it in the interest

Justice Disgraced

of justice in the country and especially in the State of


Uttarakhand that he be appointed as Chief Justice of that
State.
That has he not violated oath of office and shown ILLWILL towards me the petitioner and imposed costs of
Rs 10000/- knowing fully well that the case was remanded
back by Honble Supreme Court vide its Order dt. 29.8.08
and that the petitioner was merely obeying the Orders of
the Honble Supreme Court. And that the another D.B. of
the Punjab and Haryana High Court had passed the Order
on merits in favour of the petitioner on 27.2.09, while
issuing the Notice of motion. That after that no reply/
written statement was filed by any of the respondents.
That supreme law of the land, the Constitution of India,
protects Honble Judge to dispense justice without fear or
favour or ill-will but not to do injustice without caring for
the Supreme law, Supreme Court and another D.B. of the
same High Court.
That the matter is very grave and deserves serious
action at the highest level, in the interest of reputation of
Judiciary and Justice.
With humble regards.
Your faithfully
