Mr.R.Ramamurthy for the Petitioner. Mr.T.J.Pandian for Respondent No.1. ... CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH & V.M.KANADE, JJ. DATED: 9TH JANUARY, 2008 P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the Petitioner. - 2 - Perused the order of the Central Administrative Tribunal. We have also perused the statement. The Petitioner does not deny in his statement that he has consumed liquor on the date on which he was found drunk on duty. 2. In our opinion, considering that the disciplinary authority and the Central Administrative Tribunal have found that the misconduct has been proved, really the Petitioner has been let off lightly. The Petitioner does not deserve interference in his favour at the hands of this court in its extra ordinary jurisdiction. Petition is, therefore, rejected. (D.K.DESHMUKH, J.) (V.M.KANADE, J.)
