THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL No.121 of 2003 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice B.Prakash Rao) Appellant who is the unsuccessful petitioner seeks to assail the order of dismissal, dated 17-08-1998, passed by the learned single Judge in W.P.No.1947 of 1989 where he sought for a mandamus declaring the proceedings, dated 01-08-1989, imposing him penalty of withholding one increment with cumulative effect besides treating the period commencing from 24-04-1985 to 14-08-1986, as unauthorized absence by refusing to sanction the leave in proper time , as illegal. 2. The facts in brief are that the appellant is an employee with the respondent-Board and due to his absence for certain period, proceedings were initiated and on filing an explanation enquiry was conducted and ultimately the disciplinary authority by taking a lenient view ordered punishment of withholding one increment with cumulative effect. Challenging the same to the effect that his explanation has not been considered in proper perspective, petitioner preferred the present Writ Appeal. Now there is no material to show that the reasons given therein have been paid any attention to. 3. The learned single Judge after perusing the entire material including the explanation found that the said explanation has in fact been considered and therefore there are no merits in the writ petition and dismissed the same. Having considered the submissions once again which run almost in the self-same lines, we are of the view that the authority has rightly passed the order after taking into consideration the explanation filed by the appellant. In view of the same, there are no merits in the Writ Appeal. 4. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is dismissed. ____________________ B.PRAKASH RAO,J _____________________ P.SANJAY KUMAR,J 05th August, 2009. Tsy
