Furthermore, the Petitioner???s claim is hit by the doctrine of laches. Having remained silent throughout his service tenure and having availed pensionary benefits as calculated by the Respondents, the Petitioner cannot be permitted to reopen settled matters after retirement. The courts have consistently discouraged such belated claims, particularly where third-party rights and administrative finality are involved. 10. In view of the above discussion, this Court finds that the petition is not maintainable due to the absence of statutory service rules. The Petitioner is bound by the terms of absorption accepted by him. The claim for counting past service rendered in PETROMAN lacks legal foundation, and the petition is barred by laches. 11. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed, being not maintainable and without merit. No order as to costs.
