LPA No.1293 of 2009(O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. LPA No. 1293 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision4 .8.2010 ASI Bimla Devi ... Appellant Versus State of Haryana and others ... Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present: Mr. S.N.Yadav ,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 17.2.2009 rendered by the learned Single Judge of this Court in CWP No. 2230 of 2009. The appellant has been awarded the punishment of reversion from the post of Sub Inspector to that of Assistant Sub Inspector. She was charge-sheeted for accepting illegal gratification. In a regular departmental inquiry, the allegations were proved. The witnesses deposed before the inquiry officer that since ill gotten money has been paid back to them they did not want to prosecute the complaint. The learned Single Judge has taken the view that the appellant has been treated lightly as punishment of reversion alone has been awarded to her. Having heard the learned counsel we are satisfied that the order of reversion passed by the authorities of the respondent- state does not suffer from any legal infirmity and the view taken by the learned Single Judge deserves to be upheld. The menance of corruption is spreading even LPA No.1293 of 2009(O&M) 2 amongst the employees of fair sex as is illustrated by this case. There was a time when it used to be believed that employees belonging to the fair sex do not indulge in these type of practices. However, that belief has also suffered a setback on account of such like illustration. There is thus no merit in the appeal. Dismissed. (M.M.Kumar) Judge (A. N. Jindal ) 4.8.2010 Judge okg
