HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO AND HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL No.54 of 2006 JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Mr.Justice B.Prakash Rao) Heard both sides. Learned counsel on either side submit that the subject matter in this appeal is squarely covered by a common judgment passed by this Court in a batch of connected writ appeals in W.A.No.1910 of 2005 and batch dated 28/07/2009. Following the same, this Writ Appeal is also disposed of in the following terms: “Inasmuch as the finding of the enquiry officer is not based on evidence and as a matter of course, the matters have to go back to the file of the enquiry officer for recording a finding to that effect, but as we are informed by the learned counsel for the appellants that most of the appellants are on the verge of retirement and retired, we are inclined to pass the following order: i) The order of removal passed against the appellant- workmen is hereby set aside and they are directed to be re-instated into service, if not already retired, forthwith. ii) The appellants are imposed a punishment of stoppage of two increments with cumulative effect.” No order as to costs. _________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, J __________________ Date: 24-09-2009 SANJAY KUMAR, J NOTE: Furnish C.C. within one week.
