Union Of India & Anr vs Tarsem Singh on 13 August, 2008

In Union of India and others v. Tarsem Singh (supra), it has been observed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court that the principles underlying continuing Page 8 of 10 9 O A 3565/17 wrongs and recurring/successive wrongs have been applied to service law disputes. A "continuing wrong" refers to a single wrongful act which causes a continuing injury. "Recurring/successive wrongs" are those which occur periodically; each wrong giving rise to a distinct and separate cause of action. A belated service related claim will be rejected on the ground of delay and laches (where remedy is sought by filing a writ petition) or limitation (where remedy is sought by an application to the Administrative Tribunal). One of the exceptions to be said rule is cases relating to a continuing wrong. Where a service related claim is based on a continuing wrong, relief can be granted even if there is a long delay in seeking remedy, with reference to the date on which the continuing wrong commenced, if such continuing wrong creates a continuing source of injury. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case in the light of the above decisions, this Tribunal overrules the plea of limitation raised by the respondents.
