IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.903 of 2009 Om Prakash Verma . Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors . ----------- 2. 30.06.2011 In a punishment dated 14.10.2008 for a finding of guilt on seven charges, after some argument learned counsel for the petitioner confines his submission to the limited issue of the quantum of the punishment and submits that it is grossly disproportionate to the charge. The issue of quantum of punishment is the prerogative of the employer. The Court shall not interfere with the same unless the Court finds it to be gravely shocking to the conscience of the Court. It is not possible to arrive at any such finding to usurp those powers at this stage. While this Court has not been persuaded to interfere with the findings arrived at in the departmental proceedings, if the petitioner represents limited to the issue of the quantum of the punishment, the Court expects the respondents to consider the same in their own wisdom, but in accordance with law. Nothing in the present order shall be deemed or construed as any observation or opinion on the merits or demerits of the nature of the 2 punishment imposed which now necessarily falls within the domain of the administrator. The writ application is dismissed expect to the extent indicated. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
