IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY A.S. Writ Petition No.2l0l of 2005 Mr Dinesh Ananda Jadhav .Petitioner vs The Vice Chancellor Yeshwantro Chavan Mah Open University Nasik and ors...respondents Mr G.M.Joshi for petitioner CORAM: A.P.SHAH J. CORAM: A.P.SHAH J. CORAM: A.P.SHAH J. Dated 17.6.2005 Dated 17.6.2005 Dated 17.6.2005 P.C: . Heard advocate for the petitioner. Perused the order of the labour court as well as the industrial court. The petitioner was appointed as Asst Registrar on probation.During probation period he misappropriated fees collected from the students..He confessed his guilt before the University Authorities and agreed to reimburse the amount. In fact part of the amount is already deposited by him. In view of the serious misconduct on the part of the petitioner his services were discontinued. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that fine of Rs.500 was imposed on the petitioner by the respondents for the alleged act of misappropriation and thereafter his services were terminated and hence the order of termination amounts to double jeopardy. The submission is totally misconceived. There is no penalty prescribed for imposition of fine under the statutes. As the petitioner was found guilty of misappropriation the University decided to discontinue his services. Under the circumstances no interference is called for with the impugned orders. Petition is dismissed.
