IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5047 of 2009 Binod Kumar Verma Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 3. 26.07.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. After some argument realizing the difficulty notwithstanding the order of acquittal, learned Counsel for the petitioner submits by moulding the relief sought to urge that the petitioner proposes to represent before the authorities limited to the quantum of the punishment contending that dismissal was too harsh a punishment pursuant to the consequent acquittal in appeal. Quantum of punishment is the privilege and prerogative of the employer and it is not for the Court to take over that role of the employer unless the punishment was shocking to the conscience of the Court. The writ application is disposed with the observation that if the petitioner represents limited to the issue of quantum of punishment let the same be considered by the respondents, but in accordance with law, within a maximum period of eight weeks from the date of presentation of such representation.
