IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 7023 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION: MAY 08, 2009 Balbir Singh .....PETITIONER Versus Punjab State Electricity Board and others ....RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL --- Present: Mr.Kapil Kakkar, Advocate, for the petitioner. .. SATISH KUMAR MITTAL, J. (Oral) The petitioner, who was working as Cashier in the Punjab State Electricity Board, has filed the instant petition for quashing the order dated 12.01.2009 (Annexure P5), whereby the de novo enquiry has been ordered against the petitioner in terms of the decision given by this Court in RSA No.2157 of 2007. It has been further prayed that the petitioner, who is a handicapped person and residing in Hoshiarpur, has been asked to appear before the Enquiry Officer at Patiala, therefore, a direction be issued to the respondents to direct the Enquiry Officer to conduce the enquiry at Hoshiarpur. It has also been prayed that the petitioner may be permitted to be represented by a legal practitioner. After hearing the counsel for the petitioner, I do not find any ground to quash the order dated 12.1.2009 because the fresh enquiry has been ordered in terms of the order of this Court in RSA No.2157 of 2007 where the earlier order of punishment was set aside on technical grounds C.W.P. No. 7023 of 2009 -2- with permission to the department to conduct fresh enquiry against the petitioner. As far as the second prayer is concerned, the petitioner has already made a representation dated 15.4.2009 (Annexure P12) in this regard and regarding that prayer this petition is disposed of, without issuing notice to the other side as it will unnecessary delay the matter, with a direction to respondent No.3 to consider the prayer of the petitioner in Annexure P12 in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a period of two months. Dasti on payment. May 08, 2009 (SATISH KUMAR MITTAL) vkg JUDGE
