THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO and THE HON'BLE DR JUSTICE G.YETHIRAJULU WRIT APPEAL NO : 2012 of 2005 Dated: 24.10.2005 Between: Andhra Bank rep by Deputy General Manager (Personnel) Head Office, saifabad, Hyderabad and another. .... APPELLANTS AND KSPK Veerabhadra Rao S/o Mallikarjuna Rao R/o Hyderabad .....RESPONDENT JUDGMENT: Heard both sides and at their request the main appeal itself is taken up for disposal. The appellant is the Bank, which seeks to assail the order in W.P.No. 10495 of 1996 filed by the respondent-writ petitioner seeking to assail the punishment imposed consequent to the disciplinary proceedings initiated against him, which was partly allowed modifying the quantum of punishment from changing the same into stoppage of three increments without cumulative effect. Having heard the learned counsel on both sides and also on a perusal of the material available on record, the learned Single Judge has gone in detail in regard to the chequered events in the writ petition deserving the allegations made against the petitioner and the findings arrived at by confirming the finding of guilt of the respondent-employee and held that the punishment is not proportionate to the gravity of charge made against the petitioner and accordingly modified the same. Since the discretion had already been exercised by the learned Single Judge in regard to the quantum of punishment, we do not find any grounds to interfere with the said finding. Accordingly, the writ appeal is dismissed. No costs. __________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO,J) Dated 24th October, 2005. ____________________ SH (Dr.G.YETHIRAJULU, J)
