[Civil Appeal Nos. 392 of 2008]. [Civil Appeal Nos. 393 of 2008; 396 of 2008; 405 of 2008; 395 of 2008; 400 of 2008; 402 of 2008; 1811 of 2008; 1721 of 2008; 592 of 2009; 459 of 2008; SLP(C)No. 5080 of 2008]. Though all these appeals were directed to be heard together, during the course of hearing, it transpired that on facts all these cases are not identical or of similar nature. At the same time these appeals can be categorized in three groups. These appeals have arisen from the judgments of Punjab and Haryana High Court. First judgment in point is dated 4.4.2007, which is the main judgment, passed by the High Court in batch of writ petitions with CWP No. 9805 of 2006 as the lead case. Appeal in the said case is C.A. No. 392 of 2008. Therefore, we propose to start from this appeal so that the veracity or the legality of the main judgment is discussed. Some of other appeals fall in this group and discussions in other groups of appeals would also flow from this case. In this manner, we would be in a position to proceed systematically and coherently. Ist Group Cases C.A. No. 392 of 2008 The appellant in this appeal was recruited into the police service in the State of Haryana as a Constable in the year 1971. He got promotion to higher ranks from time to time and became Inspector of Police in the year 2002.
