IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Writ Petition No.19553 of 2010 DATE OF DECISION : NOVEMBER 01, 2010 SUBHASH CHAND ....... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB & ANR. .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. Ashok Singla, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) 1. Vide order dated 22.3.2010, which has been impugned in this petition, the petitioner has been dismissed from service under the Punjab Civil Services (Punishment and Appeal) Rules, 1970. The petitioner was serving as Block Development and Panchayat Officer, Raikot. The order of dismissal has been passed in view of the fact that the petitioner has been convicted for commission of offences under Sections 7 and 13(2), Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that, in case, the order of dismissal is not challenged at this stage, after the final disposal of criminal appeal against conviction, the petition would become belated. It is in this view of the matter that the petition has been filed. 3. No ground for interference at this stage is made out. 4. The petitioner, however, would be at liberty to make a representation to the respondents, in case, the petitioner is acquitted of the Civil Writ Petition No.19553 of 2010 2 charges, in appeal against acquittal. 5. With the above observations, the petition is disposed of. November 01, 2010 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE
