LPA 8731 of 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. LPA No. 873 of 2010 Date of decision 28.7.2010 R.P.Kalotra ... Appellant Versus United India Insurance Company Ltd. etc. ... Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present: Mr.D.S.Patwalia ,Advocate for the appellant 1.To be referred to the Reporter or not ? 2.Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? M.M.KUMAR, J. The instant appeal filed under clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against judgement dated 18.2.2009 passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court. While dismissing CWP No. 3699 of 2008, it has been found by the learned Single Judge that a regular departmental enquiry was held wherein the appellant has been afforded elaborate opportunity of hearing and all the rules have been complied with. It has also been found that the appellant has been found guilty of mis-conduct of mis- appropriating certain amount and also in respect of other charges. The appellant could not point out any lapse on the part of the enquiry officer or in any subsequent proceedings before the disciplinary authority and appellate authority. Once the enquiry has been held according to the rules governing the appellant then the quantum of punishment can also not be interfered with. Having heard the learned counsel we are unable to accept that the quantum of punishment is dis-proportionate to the magnitude of the LPA 8732 of 2010 misconduct proved. Firstly, it is for the employer to determine the quantum of punishment after the enquiry has been held and mis-conduct proved. Secondly, the Court can interfere only if there is violation of procedure resulting in causing prejudice to the interest of the delinquent employee. No such event is available for us to interfere. The appeal is without merit. Dismissed. (M.M.Kumar) Judge (A. N. Jindal ) 28.7.2010 Judge okg
