Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? * * * PRESENT Mr.Surinder Garg, Advocate, for the appellant. M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Suit of the plaintiff-appellant for declaration that the punishment order dated 15.09.2004, passed by the defendants- respondents stopping two increments with cumulative effect has been dismissed by the Courts below. Counsel for the appellant has vehemently . . . 1 RSA No.3684 of 2010 contended that the punishing authority had not applied its mind on the allegations of embezzlement. There were two allegations i.e., embezzlement of Rs.7/- and another embezzlement of Rs.8/-. The appellant was exonerated for embezzlement of Rs.8/- but he has been punished for embezzlement of Rs.8/- instead of Rs.7/-. All the pleas were available to the plaintiff-appellant in departmental appeal and same have been raised and considered. The scope of Civil Court jurisdiction for interference in the orders passed by the departmental authorities is very meagre, as such, no ground is made out to interfere in the finding of fact arrived at by the Courts below or the orders passed by the disciplinary authority or the appellate authority. No substantial question of law is involved. Dismissed. However, the dismissal of the suit will not prejudice the rights of the plaintiff-appellant in the proceedings, if any, under the departmental rules. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE May 19, 2011. rka . . . 2
