IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3211 of 2006 BHANU PRATAP SINGH Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- 3 4.8.2008 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Petitioner is aggrieved by the order of punishment imposed upon him by withholding one increment for three years based on an enquiry and finding of guilt recorded by the disciplinary authority. The appeal of the petitioner as well as revision did not beget him any relief. All authorities had come to a common conclusion. Looking at the nature of allegation, charge and the finding of guilt recorded against him the petitioner did not deserve any lenient view in the matter. The Court has occasion to peruse the charges as well as the findings recorded in the enquiry report. From the charge and the finding this Court is of the opinion that the respondents have taken a little lenient view in the matter. The authority could have taken more serious view specially keeping in mind the conduct of the petitioner which led to holding of the departmental proceeding against him. Learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to point out any serious infirmity in the concurrent findings recorded against him. In view of the above, the Court has no occasion to interfere with the order in question. This writ application is accordingly dismissed. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
