Criminal Revision No. 576 of 1995 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh. Criminal Revision No. 576 of 1995 Date of Decision: 14.2.2008. Mahender Parshad …Petitioner Versus State of Haryana …Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Jai Veer Yadav, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Dinesh Arora, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana, for the State. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) Mr.Jaiveer Yadav, Advocate, appearing for Mahender Parshad has produced death certificate to state that the petitioner has expired. In view of this, present petition will abate. Since the present petition has abated, no findings have been returned by this revisional Court. It has been contended by Mr. Jaiveer Yadav that since the deceased was working as Conductor, his family will loose retrial benefits. Within the time prescribed nobody has come forward to become legal heir to pursue the revision petition. Needless to say, in service law jurisprudence conviction ipso-facto is not construed as Criminal Revision No. 576 of 1995 2 disqualification. The department will have to conduct a departmental enquiry to determine as to whether the conduct of the deceased constituted moral turpitude or not. Therefore, Mr. Jaiveer Yadav, Advocate, is at liberty to pursue and satisfy the employer that the conduct of deceased never constituted moral turpitude. The trial Court in view of the death certificate now will hold preliminary enquiry whether the petitioner has expired or not. If in case it is found that the petitioner has died, no reference is required to be made to this Court and in case it is found otherwise, the Registry of this Court be informed. Revision petition is disposed off with above observations having abated. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge February 14, 2008 “DK”
