CWP No.3783 of 2009 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.3783 of 2009 (O&M) Decided on : 09.03.2009 Rajinder Singh Chauhan ....Petitioner VERSUS State of Haryana and another ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI Present:- Mr. S. M. Tamak, Advocate for the petitioner. AJAY TEWARI J. The petitioner has challenged the inquiry proceedings and the show cause notice imposing punishment of stoppage of four increments. In the first place the writ petition is premature since no final order has been passed. However, despite this objection having been pointed out the learned counsel for the petitioner wanted to argue on merits, I specifically put it to learned counsel for the petitioner that I would hear him on merits only if he would be alive to the possibility that if I do not agree with him, I would impose costs. Learned counsel for the petitioner still insisted. In the circumstances, I heard him on merits. On merits, the only argument of learned counsel for the petitioner is that no evidence was produced before the inquiry officer to substantiate the fact that the petitioner who is Junior Engineer went to the house of the Executive Engineer and abused him and his family and that it was with a great deal of difficulty that he was persuaded to leave the house of the said Executive Engineer. The CWP No.3783 of 2009 (O&M) -2- charge sheet further stated that lot of neighbours were gathered. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the persons should have been produced as evidence. In my opinion, learned counsel for the petitioner’s argument is a pure and simple question of fact and the findings recorded cannot be termed so perverse as to justify the interference in extraordinary jurisdiction. Consequently, this writ petition is dismissed with costs of Rs.5000/-. March 09, 2009 ( AJAY TEWARI ) ashish JUDGE
