IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP(T) No. 14113 of 2008. Decided on: July 7, 2010. Atma Singh Chauhan ….. Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. & anr. ….Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kuldip Singh, Judge. For the petitioner: Mr. P.P.Chauhan, Advocate. For the Respondents Mr. R.K.Sharma, Sr. Addl. AG. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The issue raised in this Writ Petition pertains to the disciplinary proceedings initiated against the petitioner culminating in imposition of penalty of reduction in rank. It appears that the petitioner had pursued the matter in appeal and finally in revision, Annexure A-13. But that annexure A-13, revision has been decided by a non-speaking order, as per Annexure A-14. Since, the petitioner had been pursing a statutory revision in respect of the penalty, it is only appropriate that the matter is considered on merits. Accordingly, Annexure A-14 is set aside with a direction to the first respondent to consider the matter afresh and pass a speaking order. In case, the petitioner requests for opportunity for hearing, the same shall also be granted. Needful, as above, shall be done within a period of three months from the date of production of the copy of this judgment along with a copy of the CWP(T), by the petitioner. 2 3. With these observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. Copy Dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. July 7, 2010.
