Bhat, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. J.B. Jaiswal, APP for the Respondents .......... CORAM : K.J. ROHEE &, B.P.DHARMADHIKARI, JJ. DATED : JULY 2, 2008 1. Heard counsel for the parties. 2. The respondent/State has filed reply affidavit. The reply shows that the case of the petitioner for Night Watchmanship was considered by the Selection Committee and he was found to be disqualified for being promoted as Night Watchman because of his physical unfitness. In view of this statement, we do not feel it necessary to inquire in the matter. 3. It seems that the petitioner was punished for overstaying when he was released on furlough on three occasions. However, it is apparent that when the punishment was imposed on him way back in 2005, he did not challenge the 2 punishment. He is challenging the said punishment only when he was found disqualified for being appointed to the post of Night Watchman. In view of this we are not inclined to interfere with the punishment imposed on him. In the result the petitioner is disposed of. 4. The fees of Mr. N.S. Bhat, Advocate, appointed for the petitioner, are quantified at Rs.750/-. JUDGE JUDGE halwai
