1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 643 OF 2010 (Bhaskar Namdeorao Lokhande vs. M.S.R.T.C. Buldhana) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. MARCH 25, 2010. Heard Shri Khan, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Mehadia, learned counsel for the respondent. The question is whether in the light of charge sheet for misconducts under Schedule A, Inquiry Officer has found the petitioner guilty of misconduct under Schedule B. Copy of Inquiry Report is not on record. Shri Khan, learned counsel has contended that as misconduct of not maintaining way bill falls under Schedule B, hence only a minor punishment could have been inflicted but here punishment of stoppage of three annual increments with cumulative effect is imposed, which has been upheld by the learned Member of Industrial Court. He states that this punishment is a major punishment. Shri Mehadia, learned counsel states that the charge sheet was filed in Schedule A for major punishment and the same is found to be established. He, therefore, supports the impugned order. He states 2 that there is no challenge to the findings of Inquiry Officer or to the fairness of departmental inquiry. With the assistance of both counsel, I have perused the impugned judgment. It is apparent that Industrial Court has applied its mind to the necessary details and maintained the punishment. The contention that misconduct alleged is of minor nature and falling under Schedule B, cannot be accepted because clause 12-B of Schedule A has been specifically invoked. The details in the charge sheet show that 8 tickets issued on Police warrant to police employees were taken back by the petitioner and were reissued to other passengers. It is, therefore, apparent that misconduct showing dishonesty and misappropriation in connection with business has been established on record. Therefore, no case is made out warranting any interference in writ jurisdiction. Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. JUDGE *GS.
