THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD W.P.No.4914 of 2010 ORDER: (Per Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This writ petition is filed assailing the order dated 15.10.2009 passed in O.A.No.5260 of 2004 by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad (for short ‘the Tribunal’). 2. The petitioner, who is a Police Constable, was removed from service vide proceedings dated 15.02.2003 issued by the third respondent as the charges of assaulting and beating one Mr. Basha, Reserve Sub-Inspector of A-Coy at Malakpet Police Station on 28.10.2000 at about 12.30 hrs, were proved against him in the departmental enquiry conducted by the respondents. The appeal as well as the revision preferred by the petitioner were rejected by proceedings dated 01.09.2003 and 19.04.2004 respectively. Challenging the said proceedings, the petitioner filed the above said O.A. before the Tribunal and the same was dismissed on 15.10.2009. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Services-I. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the punishment of removal from service is highly disproportionate to the alleged misconduct of the petitioner and therefore, he prays to modify the said punishment. 5. In view of the concurrent findings of the disciplinary, appellate and revisional authorities and also the order of the Tribunal, this Court cannot go into the adequacy or inadequacy of the evidence while exercising certiorari jurisdiction, which is very narrow and limited. Unless there is a perverse finding and it shocks the judicial conscience, this Court cannot interfere with those findings. In the instant case, the petitioner was found to be playing the cards along with another Police Constable during office hours and assaulted and beat his superior officer. Such type of indiscipline action of a Police Officer, like the petitioner, would certainly damage the reputation of the entire institution. Therefore, the alleged punishment imposed by the respondents cannot be said to be harsh or excessive. The Tribunal has gone through the evidence and rightly confirmed the orders impugned therein. Therefore, we find no illegality or irregularity in the order impugned warranting interference by this Court. 6. The Writ Petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. _____________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED,J ____________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date:18.03.2010. sj
