JUDGEMENT

(1.) SINCE the respondents have already filed counter-affidavit, learned Counsel for the petitioner made a statement that he does not propose to file any rejoinder affidavit and on the basis of the pleadings available on record the writ petition may be heard and decided. Learned Standing Counsel did not object to the said request and, therefore, with the consent of learned Counsel for the parties the writ petition has been heard and is being decided finally under the Rules of the Court at the admission stage.

(2.) AGGRIEVED by the order dated 27. 4. 2006 (Annexure-1 to the writ petition), whereby the State Government has imposed punishment of recovery of Rs. 6,955 upon the petitioner, besides censure entry, the present writ petition has been filed seeking a writ of certiorari for quashing the same.

(3.) THE respondents have filed counter-affidavit wherein the facts as stated are not disputed. However it is submitted that the disciplinary authority found one of the charge proved against the petitioner and, therefore, the impugned order of punishment has been issued which is absolutely correct and in accordance with law.
