IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH LPA No.1020 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 20.8.2010 Roshan Lal … Appellant Versus State of Haryana and others …Respondents Coram: Hon’ble Mr.Justice M.M.Kumar Hon’ble Ms.Justice Ritu Bahri Present: Mr.Deepak Manchanda, Advocate for the appellant. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M.Kumar, J. The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent by the un-successful writ petitioner, is directed against the judgment dated 1.7.2010 passed by learned Single Judge upholding the order of his dismissal. It has been categorically found that the appellant-writ petitioner had remained absent from duty on several occasions and had earned various punishments. The detail of absence of more than 20 occasions is noticed in the last but penultimate para of the judgment which shows that the appellant-writ petitioner is a habitual absentee. It is well settled that cumulative act of misconduct will have the effect of gravest misconduct contemplated under Rule 16.2 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934. There is no room for us to interfere in the impugned judgment. Dismissed. (M.M.Kumar ) Judge (Ritu Bahri) Judge 20.08.2010 sd LPA No.1020 of 2010 2
