LPA No.54 of 2009. 22.06.2009 Present: Mr. Shashi Shirshoo, Advocate, for the appellant. The disciplinary proceedings were initiated against the appellant vide Annexure P-1 dated 24.10.1989 and Inquiry Officer was appointed. He submitted his report to the disciplinary authority. The disciplinary authority after perusing the report imposed the penalty of removal from service. The order was passed by the competent authority on 1.1.1991. Mr. Shashi Shirshoo has vehemently argued that the Inquiry Officer has not complied with the mandatory provision of law while conducting the enquiry. However, no such argument has been advanced before the learned Single Judge. It was necessary for the petitioner to bring to the notice of the Inquiry Officer if there was any infraction of mandatory provision of law in writing. The order passed by the learned Single Judge does not suffer from any illegality or irregularity. The same is upheld. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. (Jagdish Bhalla), C.J. June 22, 2009.
