Petitioner submitted his explanation and domestic enquiry was conducted. Through order, dated 30-10-2004, the 1st respondent terminated the services of the petitioner. Appeal filed by him before the 2nd respondent was rejected as time barred. Review before the 3rd respondent was also rejected. Hence, this writ petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 3.
