1 S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.2930/2010 Amra Patel vs State of Rajasthan & Anr. DATE OF ORDER : 26.3.2010 HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA,J. Mr. Sandeep Shah, for the petitioner . <><><> Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that petitioner has preferred the appeal against the imposition of major penalty of stoppage of two annual grade increments with cumulative effect and according to petitioner that has been done without assigning any reason as well as without there being any evidence. Therefore, the petitioner challenged the order of punishment in appeal, which he preferred in the month of Dec., 2008. According to petitioner, the petitioner submitted representation, yet the petitioner's said appeal has not been decided by the appellate authority. The petitioner tried to assail the order of punishment itself, but this court is not inclined to entertain the writ petition to challenge the order of punishment when petitioner already has preferred the appeal against the said order and there appears to be no reason for bye-passing the said alternate remedy. Be it as it may be, the writ petition of the petitioner is dismissed with the direction to the appellate authority to 2 decide the appeal of the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this order, which may be supplied by the petitioner.
