1 S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.1797/2010 Kumar Bhan Singh vs State of Rajasthan & Ors. DATE OF ORDER : 22.3.2010 HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA,J. Mr. Pradeep Choudhary, for the petitioner. <><><> Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner was punished under Rule 17 with the punishment of only censure and it appears that petitioner's conduct in the facts relevant for the purpose of departmental inquiry was considered in the impugned order dated 29.11.2005 by the disciplinary authority and, thereafter,it was considered by the appellate authority in order dated 13.9.2006 and petitioner is challenging the said punishment order and dismissal of his appeal after delay of more than 3 years from the appellate order. Therefore, on this ground alone, the writ petition deserves to be dismissed. However, after going through the facts and the reasons given in the order of the disciplinary authority and appellate authority, I do not find any valid reason to interfere in such punishment. The petitioner relied upon upon the office order dated 1st May, 1981 wherein it is mentioned that where there is a genuine reason for granting leave to the employee, then the leave may be 2 granted. The facts of the present case is entirely different and said circular has no application. Therefore, the writ petition of the petitioner is dismissed having no merit. (PRAKASH TATIA),J. cpgoyal/-
