IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.10282 of 2001 Date of decision: 10.11.2008 Amarjit Singh .... Petitioner versus Vice Chancellor, Punjab Agricultural University & others .... Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI Present: Mr. Sumeet Mahajan, Sr. Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. H. S. Riar, Sr. Advocate for the respondents. **** AJAY TEWARI, J. CM Nos.21860 of 2008 and 21856 of 2008 are allowed. In this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the order of the University directing that some part of money embezzled be recovered from him. Both learned counsel are agreed that in an identical case CWP No.7012 of 2001, the following order was passed: “After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and going through the inquiry report dated 8.12.2000, Annexure P-12 and impugned order of punishment dated 2.5.2001, Annexure P-15 we do not find any case for interference. We concur with the reasoning adopted by the authorities. Dismissed.” Thereafter, in a review application filed by the petitioner therein, it was decided that in case the University - respondent is able to CWP No.10282 of 2001 -2- recover the embezzled amount from Bikramjit Singh who was guilty thereof then the desirability of returning the amount to the petitioner, if recovered from him, should be considered. In my opinion, this is a fair order. I therefore, dispose of this petition with a direction that in case the respondents are able to recover the whole of the embezzled amount from Bikramjit Singh then that amount of retiral benefits of the petitioner should be returned by the respondent- University with interest @ 7% per annum. Disposed of accordingly. November 10, 2008 (AJAY TEWARI) sonia JUDGE
