THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER SONE CANAL MODERNISATION DIVISION, NASRIGANJ, DISTT.- ROHTAS ----------- 2. 5.11.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner was proceeded with departmentally and enquiry report submitted upon which a second show cause notice was issued, to which he filed his reply also at Annexure-19. It does not appear that the petitioner has taken any ground in his reply to the second show cause notice of any illegality/irregularity in the departmental proceeding. The jurisdiction of the Court to interfere with an order of punishment passed in a departmental proceeding is very limited and is confined to the decision making process. It shall not be the jurisdiction of this Court to enter into reappreciation of evidence and reassessment of facts to arrive at a different 2 conclusion that arrived at by the enquiry officer. This Court therefore, finds no merit in the writ application. It is accordingly dismissed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
