CWP No. 14835 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 14835 of 2008 Date of Decision: May 04, 2009 Vijay Lakshmi ...... Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr. J.P.Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Harish Rathee, Senior DAG, Haryana. **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Ajay Tewari, J. The petitioner has challenged the order dated 17.5.2007 removing him from service as Tuberculosis Home Visitor and the order dated 11.3.2008 whereby the representation filed by her (pursuant to a direction of this Court in CWP No. 17440 of 2007) was rejected by passing a speaking order. CWP No. 14835 of 2008 2 The petitioner was appointed on contract basis for one year on 13.12.2005 and her services have been terminated on two charges, firstly that during home visit of a patient it was found that he had expired five weeks earlier but was shown as having received medication till the date of inspection. The second charge was as follows:- “ TBHV also acts as a DOT Provider at the District TB Center. While checking DOTS room of DTC, lot of discrepancies were noticed in patient wise boxes and other cards. It was evident from the record that the work of TBHV was poor and she was in the habit of giving false reports.” As regards the first allegation, learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to document Annexure P-4 whereby the District TB Officer has verified that in fact that patient was not a patient of the petitioner. However, no explanation is forthcoming with regard to the second charge. There are no allegations regarding any animus which any officer may have against the petitioner. In my opinion this Court cannot sit as a Court of Appeal nor can it go into strictly factual aspects. As noticed above pursuant to the orders of this Court the case of the petitioner has been considered by the Director General, Health Services, Haryana who has passed a speaking order. In my opinion there are no adequate grounds to interfere with the said order. Consequently this petition is dismissed. No costs. (AJAY TEWARI) CWP No. 14835 of 2008 3 JUDGE May 04, 2009 sunita
