IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.3762 of 2008 Date of Decision: 13.3.2008 Ramphal Chaudhary Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present: Shri Devinder Singh, Advocate for the petitioner Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) By filing this writ petition, the petitioner prays that directions be issued to the authorities concerned to reinstate him in service with all consequential benefits. Further prayer is to quash order dated 21.6.1994 (P/3), vide which he was dismissed from service and order dated 11.8.1995 (P/4), dismissing his appeal. It is apparent from the records that for committing embezzlement of Rs.30,000/- departmental enquiry was initiated against the petitioner. The enquiry officer held him guilty and by taking note of the same, dismissal from service was ordered. Petitioner went in appeal, which was dismissed. He came to this Court, his writ petition was also dismissed. He went to Hon’ble Supreme Court by filing SLP No.37842-43 of 1998 which was also dismissed on 6.4.1998. He also filed a review application which also met with the same fate. Thereafter, curative petition filed by him was also dismissed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court on 3.8.2005. Civil Writ Petition No.3762 of 2008 With him, some other employees, were also involved in above said embezzlement. Enquiry was also conducted against them, they were ordered to be dismissed from service. They came to this Court, their dismissal was stayed. Ultimately, their writ petition was allowed. However, liberty was granted to the respondent – authority to proceed afresh against them. Thereafter, fresh departmental enquiry was conducted and by taking note of the conclusion of the enquiry officer, the punishing authority awarded punishment of stoppage of two increments to other employee who was also involved in embezzlement, with the petitioner. That order was passed on 29.9.2006. By taking note of the same, the petitioner has agitated his rights in this writ petition for his reinstatement. We feel that once the order dismissing the petitioner has become final, no right is left to the petitioner to ask for his reinstatement. We do not know on what grounds and by taking note of what circumstances, lesser punishment was awarded to other employee, namely Suresh Kumar. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed.
