IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-20213 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: 8.7.2011 Jai Pal Khosla ..Petitioner. Vs. State of Punjab and another ..Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present : Mr. Rajinder Goyal, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajesh Bindal, J. Prayer in the present petition is for setting aside the order passed by the learned Court below dated 14.6.2011 whereby the prayer of the petitioner for suspending his conviction has been rejected. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was employed as Junior Engineer with Punjab State Transmission Corporation Limited, Ludhiana and has been dismissed on account of his conviction. He further submitted that if conviction is stayed, he will be able to get the terminal benefits. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I do not find any merit in the present petition. The petitioner has already been dismissed from service on account of his conviction. As far as payment of terminal benefits is concerned, even if the conviction is stayed, the petitioner cannot be paid the benefits as same would ultimately depend upon the result of the appeal filed by him. The appeal is already pending before Crl. Misc. No. M-20213 of 2011 -2- learned Additional Sessions Judge, Amritsar. Dismissed. ( Rajesh Bindal ) 8.7.2011 Judge Meenu
