IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Writ Petition No. 20760 of 2008 DATE OF DECISION : JANUARY 22, 2009 JAYAKRISHNA PRADHAN ....... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS UNION OF INDIA & ORS. .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. JS Sathi, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. Hemen Aggarwal, Advocate, for respondents. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India seeks issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing order dated 31.12.2007 (Annexure P-1), whereby the petitioner has been ordered to be prematurely discharged from service with effect from 30.4.2008. The petitioner has been declared to be Permanent Low Medical Category personnel. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner, essentially, is that there are no recommendations of the Invalidating Medical Board that the petitioner has become unfit to perform his duties. The impugned action, therefore, is clearly illegal and the case of the petitioner is covered by a Division Bench judgment of this Court viz. CWP Civil Writ Petition No. 20760 of 2008 2 17911 of 2007 (Hav. Ram Chandra Udevania v. Union of India and others), decided on 11.12.2008. Learned counsel for the respondents has not been able to dispute either the fact that the Invalidating Medical Board has not been constituted to consider the case of the petitioner or the fact that the case is covered by the aforesaid judgment. Accordingly, this petition is allowed in terms of judgment of this Court in CWP 17911 of 2007 (Hav. Ram Chandra Udevania v. Union of India and others), decided on 11.12.2008.
