The punishment imposed was reduction in time scale of pay by three stages for three years with cumulative effect. The Review Petition filed to the Deputy Inspector General of Police was dismissed. The Mercy Petition filed to the Director General of Police was rejected. Therefore, the Original Application has been filed before the Tribunal. 3. The authorities have considered the matter at length and passed the orders on merits. Before this Court, the grounds taken by the petitioner are only with regard to quantum of punishment. Since the charges were proved, the petitioner was found guilty of the delinquency charges and the same has been considered by two appellate authorities and confirmed, this Court is not inclined to go into the factual aspects of the case to interfere with the quantum of punishment. The Writ Petition accordingly is dismissed. No costs.
