Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Arvind Kumar Singh For the Respondent/s : Mr. Ram Balak Mahto Ag ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NAVIN SINHA ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NAVIN SINHA) 2 12-12-2011 After some argument, learned counsel for the petitioner moulds the submissions confining the relief sought only to the question of quantum of punishment. The allegations were of financial embezzlement. A finding of guilt on one charge led to an order of dismissal dated 24.6.2011. The question of quantum of punishment is primarily for the employer to decide unless the Court finds it shocking to the conscience of the Court, and which is the only ground on which it may interfere. Presently that does not appear possible. If the petitioner represents limited to the question of Patna High Court CWJC No.20052 of 2011 (2) dt.12-12-2011 2 quantum of punishment only, the Court expects the respondents to consider the same in their wisdom but in accordance with law without being prejudiced in any manner by the nature of the present order preferably within a maximum period of three months so that matters are allowed to attain finality at the earliest. The writ application is disposed. Krishna Chandra Jha/- (Navin Sinha, J)
