MAHAVIR PRASAD JAIN Vs. DIVISIONAL COMMISSIONER

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned Counsel for parties.

(2.) THIS writ petition has been filed by petitioner against order of penalty dated 15.09.1992, by which he was awarded penalty of stoppage of three grade increments with cumulative effect by the disciplinary authority, and order dated 02.09.1994 by which his appeal filed against that order was rejected.

(3.) SHRI Sayed Zakawat Ali, learned Deputy Government Counsel, appearing on behalf of respondents, has opposed writ petition and submitted that disciplinary authority has duly recorded reasons to disagree with findings recorded by enquiry officer i.e. Sub Divisional Officer. No separate notice was required to be given to petitioner, moreover the petitioner did not object to such recourse to be adopted by respondent even when he filed appeal. The appellate authority has also considered all his arguments in detail and has upheld the order passed by disciplinary authority. There is no infirmity in impugned order. It is therefore prayed that writ petition be dismissed.
