CHELAMESWAR, C.J & ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ---------------------------------------------- W.A.No. 527 of 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of June, 2011 JUDGMENT J.Chelameswar, CJ. Aggrieved by the judgment dated 4th February, 2011 in W.P.(C). No. 38604 of 2010, the unsuccessful writ petitioner preferred this appeal. 2. Petitioner is the appellant, who is working as Assistant Sub Inspector of Police (Grade) in the service of the State of Kerala. By an order dated 26.2.1991, the appellant was kept under suspension pending enquiry into certain charges. Exhibit P4 is the memo of charges containing two charges against the appellant. The enquiry officer found the appellant guilty of one charge and found in favour of the appellant as far as the other charge is concerned. However, the disciplinary authority did not agree with the conclusion given by the enquiry authority and passed the order of punishment of barring the annual increment of the appellant for a period of two years with cumulative effect. The said order was passed on 2.5.1994. Aggrieved by the same, the appellant carried the matter in a departmental appeal before the fourth respondent herein unsuccessfully. The appeal was dismissed by order dated 7.2.1995, which was marked as Exhibit P8 in WA.527/11 2 the Writ Petition. The matter was carried in a further appeal before the second respondent. The said appeal was dismissed by order dated 6.12.1995 by the third respondent. Aggrieved by the same, the appellant filed a review petition dated 3.12.1997, which was also rejected by order dated 4.3.1998. The appellant carried the matter before the Government seeking a review of the order of the second respondent, which was rejected by the Government by order dated 22.11.2005. Therefore, the appellant approached this Court by the abovementioned Writ Petition in the year 2010. 3. The learned Judge of this Court came to the conclusion that the appellant approached this Court belatedly. We do not see any other possible conclusion on the facts stated above. We do not find any merit in the Writ Appeal. The Writ Appeal is, therefore dismissed at the admission stage itself. J.CHELAMESWAR, CHIEF JUSTICE ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE vgs
