THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION Nos.23020, 23032 and 23034 of 2010 COMMON ORDER: In these writ petitions, three orders, imposing the punishment of deferment of increments with cumulative effect, are assailed. The principal ground urged by the petitioner is that though the punishment of deferment of increment with cumulative effect is a major penalty, it was imposed without conducting domestic enquiry. Reliance is placed upon the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Kulwanth Singh Gill vs. State of Punjab[1]. Heard the petitioner, who appeared as party-in- person, and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The orders, which are assailed in the writ petitions, are referable to the years 1994 and 1995. The petitioner retired from service way back in the year 2001. This Court did entertain the writ petitions filed several years after the orders imposing similar punishments are passed and declaration was made to the effect that the punishments were modified to those of deferment of increment without cumulative effect. In all such matters, the petitioners therein were not extended any monetary benefit. It is no doubt true that the petitioner has been pursuing remedies in one form or the other. The fact however remains that he retired from service and uniformly, this Court has been denying monetary benefit, after modifying the punishment. It is not known as to whether the petitioner gets any relief otherwise than in the form of arrears of salary etc. Hence, the writ petitions are disposed of modifying the punishments imposed through the impugned orders to those of deferment of increments without cumulative effect. The petitioner shall not be entitled to any monetary benefit. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, ,J Dt:21.09.2010. jsu THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.
