1503wp1222.10.odt 1/1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 1222 OF 2010 Sanjeev Shamlalji Gujar Vs. Union of India & others Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's orders Mr. M. M. Sudame, Advocate for the petitioner. CORAM: D. D. SINHA & F. M. REIS, JJ. DATED : 15th MARCH, 2010. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner. The writ petition is directed against office order dated 31/7/2006 passed by the Disciplinary Authority, whereby the petitioner was removed from service after holding the Departmental Enquiry. The grievance of the petitioner is that the Authority did not grant reasonable opportunity to the petitioner to defend himself during the course of the enquiry. It is further contended that the principles of natural justice were not properly observed which has resulted in miscarriage of justice, and therefore, the punishment awarded against the petitioner cannot be sustained in law. We have considered the contentions canvassed by the learned Counsel for the petitioner and perused the order impugned. The charge framed against the petitioner is of serious nature. The proceedings and the order would show that the enquiry was conducted as per the procedure applicable in this regard. It further demonstrates that the petitioner was given adequate opportunity of hearing and the principles of natural justice were not violated. Consequently, no case is made out for showing any indulgence. The writ petition is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE wwl
