CHANDIGARH: Reams have been written about the snail’s pace at which our legal system works. Here is yet another classic example of the judicial sluggishness though the saving grace is that the delay has ended on a happy note.

Chand Singh is not an ordinary soul. He persisted and waited patiently for 22 long years to get justice and thankfully his quest for justice did not go in vain. With a single stroke of your honour’s mighty pen, his fortunes have taken a quantum leap, even though belatedly.

Promotion was all that Singh had wanted. He had the age, law and qualifications on his side but the Punjab and Sind Bank, his employer, apparently thought otherwise.

The bank’s intransigence in denying Singh his due led to a prolonged legal battle starting in 1980s, a battle that was grossly unnecessary in the first place. After losing out in the lower courts, Chand Singh entered the hallowed realms of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in 1985. Utterly optimistic and keen to fight it out to the last, he would have never imagined that his plea would go unheard for more than two decades.
