SBCWP6824/2010 // 1 // IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR ORDER IN S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.6824/2010 Mahesh Prasad Mathur Vs. State of Rajasthan and Others Date of Order ::: 12.05.2010 Present Hon'ble Mr. Justice Mohammad Rafiq Smt. Naina Saraf, Counsel for petitioner #### By the Court:- Admittedly the impugned order of penalty dated 09.02.2010 is appealable because petitioner is a member of subordinate service. Learned counsel submitted that since the principles of natural justice have been given complete go-by, therefore, the bar of alternative remedy may not come in the way of petitioner in directly approaching this Court challenging the said order of penalty and further that the recovery which has been ordered may in the mean time be made from petitioner. Although these issues can be raised by petitioner before the appellate authority as well, who can be requested to pass suitable interim order pending disposal of appeal, and keeping in view the nature of penalty i.e. stoppage of one grade increment for one year and recovery of Rs.90206/-, I find no reason to directly entertain this writ petition. SBCWP6824/2010 // 2 // Writ petition is dismissed as being not maintainable. However, if an appeal is filed by the petitioner, the appellate authority shall make effort to decide the same within a period of six months from the date of filing thereof.
