Decided On November 09, 2017
Ramakant Tiwari Appellant
V/S
STATE OF U.P. Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This special appeal has been filed by the appellant challenging the judgment and order dated 12.2.2007 passed by Honourable Single Judge in Writ Petition No. 30455 of 1990 (Ramakant Tiwari Vs. State of U.P and others). By means of the impugned order dated 12.2.2007, the Honourable Single Judge has dismissed the writ petition and has held on the basis judgments of the Honourable Supreme Court that the Principle of restitution shall be applicable and it was the duty of the Court to restore back the benefits to the respondents which were given to the petitioner in pursuance of an interim order dated 19.11.1990 staying the operation of the order of dismissal of the petitioner no.1 dated 1.11.1990. The writ petition was dismissed with cost.

(2.) Counsel for the petitioner/appellant while arguing the matter before us has relied upon three main grounds, which were also urged before the learned Single Judge. It has been argued that during the pendency of the disciplinary proceedings the petitioner who had initially been appointed on a temporary basis, had completed his probation satisfactorily and having rendered satisfactory service and being confirmed, it cannot be said that during the same time, the petitioner committed any misconduct and disciplinary proceedings could not be allowed to continue after his confirmation.

(3.) Learned Single Judge has dealt with the said argument raised by the writ petitioner and has held that the reliance placed upon the judgment of the Honourable Supreme Court in the case of Girish Bihari Vs. State of U.P. 1982 LIC 1500 was misplaced.
