D.B. CIVIL SPECIAL APPEAL (W) NO.572/2006 Mahesh Kumar Arora Vs. State of Rajasthan & Anr. Date : 27.04.2007 PRESENT HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BALIA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE BHANWAROO KHAN Mr. S.N. Trivedi for the appellant. ________ Having heard learned counsel for the appellant we are of the opinion that there is no merit in this appeal. The termination of petitioner's services was as a result of his admission that he has remained absent from duty for more than 13 years and that is the charge levelled against him. The appeal against the said punishment was dismissed and for that reason the learned Single Judge has also not interfered with the order of punishment. The learned counsel for the appellant tried to make out the procedural lapse which in our opinion could not come in the way of law to sustain the penalty order passed by the disciplinary authority in a case where the petitioner remained absent from duty over 13 years. The appeal is dismissed. [BHANWAROO KHAN], J. [ RAJESH BALIA ], J. babulal/
