1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO.1423 OF 2007 (Suresh s/o Kashinath Gurnule vs. State and others) ___________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, JJ. DATED : APRIL 8, 2008 Heard Shri Harsulkar, learned Counsel for the petitioner. The petition is directed against the orders passed by the Disciplinary Authority as well as lower appellate Authority whereby orders of compulsory retirement and recovery of amount are confirmed. We have considered the contentions of the learned Counsel for the petitioner and perused the impugned orders. Perusal of the impugned orders shows that procedure applicable as per rules has been followed while conducting departmental enquiry against the petitioner and reasonable opportunity was also given to the petitioner during the course of 2 departmental enquiry and, therefore, enquiry conducted by the Enquiry Officer has been held to be consistent with the rules and procedure applicable in this regard by the lower appellate Authority. The observations made in the order of lower appellate Authority show that petitioner has given acceptance in respect of charge nos. 2, 3 and 4. Be that as it may, considering totality of the issue, in our view, no case is made out for showing indulgence. The petition suffers from lack of merit and hence, same is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE khj
