LPA No.236 of 2011 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH LPA No.236 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 10.02.2011 Narender Kumar … Appellant Versus State of Haryana and Others … Respondents ***** CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE T.P.S. MANN 1. To be referred to the Reporter or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr. S.S. Toor, Advocate, for the appellant. ***** M.M. KUMAR, J. The instant appeal under Clause X of the Letter Patent is directed against the judgment dated 02.12.2010 rendered by the learned Single Judge holding that the petitioner-appellant was found guilty of charges in a regular departmental inquiry. According to the findings, the petitioner-appellant had managed to escape the rigorous Police Commando Instructor Course scheduled from 07.07.2008 to 27.09.2008 at NSG Training Centre, Manesar, Gurgaon by making false excuses of illness. Accordingly, the learned Single Judge has held that punishment of stoppage of two annual grade increments with cumulative effect has been rightly inflicted upon him. Having heard the learned counsel, we are of the considered view that after holding a preliminary inquiry by the respondent, the evidence was produced in the regular departmental inquiry and the Inquiry Officer has found him guilty of avoiding the course of the Police Commando Instructor by putting forward excuses of his illness. The petitioner-appellant has been awarded a very moderate punishment of stoppage of two increments with cumulative effect. No legal LPA No.236 of 2011 (O&M) -2- infirmity in the action taken by the respondent could be found. There is no reason to admit the appeal. The findings recorded by the learned Single Judge are in accordance with the law and deserve to be approved. Accordingly, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. ( M.M.
