The writ petition is filed with the following prayers:- “i) That the action of the respondents in implicating the applicant qua the amount of Rs.31086/-, which was stolen, by way of theft may kindly be quashed and set aside. ii) That the impugned order dated 1.7.2005 vide Annexure A-1, and the orders dated 1.2.2006 vide Annexure A-3 imposing the penalty of recovery against the applicant, may kindly be quashed and set aside. 2. There is no reply as yet. It is seen from Annexure A- 4, bye-laws, that the competent authority to initiate disciplinary action is Managing Director. Therefore, the action already taken by others is incompetent and Annexure A-3 is quashed. However, it is made clear that this judgment shall not stand in the way of the competent authority taking appropriate action against the petitioner in accordance with law. 2 3. With the above observations, the writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. Copy dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice (Justice V.K. Sharma) Judge.
