The Secretary To The Divisional Commissioner Purnea ----------- 3. 23.08.2011 After some argument learned counsel for the petitioner submits that given the nature of the charge and the findings of negligence only in putting up of the records of the appeals in question without any allegations of ill motive etc. the punishment of dismissal is too harsh and the petitioner wishes to withdraw the application to represent before the disciplinary authority in so far as the quantum of punishment is concerned. The quantum of punishment is primarily for the authority to consider and not for the Court to supplant its opinion. Suffice it to notice that the allegation relates to only negligence in discharge of duties. If the petitioner files any application let it be considered and disposed off by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. 2 The writ application is dismissed as withdrawn with the liberty as aforesaid.
