Jagsir Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.P.S.Jammu, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) In a criminal case registered vide FIR No.93 dated 23.3.2006 at Police Station Moga under Section 283 IPC, the petitioner who is a Head Constable in Punjab Police, also admittedly remained the Investigating Officer from 16.11.2006 to 23.3.2007. The Authorities have taken disciplinary action against the petitioner as well as the other police officials who also remained the Investigating Officers of the above stated case as they kept the investigation pending inordinately, apparently for extraneous consideration. A regular departmental enquiry was held in which the petitioner was found guilty of dereliction of duty. The admitted fact is that CWP No.14101 of 2011 [2] a show cause notice dated 17.4.2008 was served upon the petitioner alongwith a copy of the enquiry report which he received on 4.5.2008. The petitioner neither submitted the reply to the show cause notice nor rendered any explanation in his defence. The Disciplinary Authority accordingly drew an inference of admission of the guilt and imposed the punishment of stoppage of one increment with permanent effect. The appeals preferred by the petitioner have also been dismissed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Ferozepur Range, Ferozepur and the Inspector General of Police, Bathinda Zone, Bathinda, respectively. The petitioner thereafter preferred another appeal/revision before the Director General of Police, Punjab, who has also turned down the same. All the Authorities have passed speaking orders with due application of mind. No case to interfere with the impugned orders is called for by this Court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction. Dismissed. August 05, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
