DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE OFFICER, DISTRICT COOPERATIVE OFFICE, MUZAFFARPUR 6. ASSISTANT REGISTRAR, OFFICE OF COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES, WESTERN CIRCLE, MUZAFFARPUR … Respondents/Respondents ----------- 2. 12.5.2010 Being dis-satisfied with the order dated 30th October, 2009 passed by the learned Single Judge in C.W.J.C.No. 10313/2009, whereby the learned Single Judge has declined to interfere with the punishment of stoppage of one increment with cumulative effect, the present appeal has been filed. We have perused the order of the learned Single Judge. On a careful scrutiny of the same, it appears that the appellant while in custody had submitted an application for grant of leave on the ground that his 2 wife was ill. Be that as it may, it is not a case where the enquiry was not held. The appellant has tendered apology. In our considered opinion the punishment, that has been imposed, really does not warrant interference by the writ Court. Hence, we do not perceive any reason to interfere in the order of the learned Single Judge. In the result, the appeal being, devoid of substance, stands dismissed in limine. (Dipak Misra,C.J.)
