DATED DATED DATED : 22ND JANUARY, 2008 : 22ND JANUARY, 2008 : 22ND JANUARY, 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. . Heard the learned counsel for the Appellant and the learned counsel for the Respondent. By this Appeal, the Appellant has challenged the order of the learned Single Judge dated 20th November, 2006 whereby the learned Single Judge had declined to interfere with the Award passed by the Tribunal. It is an admitted fact that there is no complaint with regard to the fairness of the enquiry. Even the learned Single Judge has held that the imposition of punishment of dismissal is not disproportionate. We have also perused the earlier order passed by the Division Bench of this Court dated 27th March, 2002 in Appeal No. 364 of 2001. The Division Bench of this Court has very ( 2 ) categorically come to a conclusion that the Appellant Workman had reported the work late on 65 occasions during the short period of 8 months and in view thereof, the Division Bench was also of the view that the punishment of dismissal is not at all gross and disproportionate. 2. The learned Single Judge has come to the conclusion that the punishment of the dismissal of workman is not disproportionate. The learned Single Judge has not erred in passing the impugned order and, therefore, no interference is called for. The Appeal is devoid of any merits and, therefore, the Appeal stands dismissed.
