IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. RSA No.3708 of 1997(O&M) Date of Decision: 21.11.2008. Ram Singh ....Appellant Versus Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board and others ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr.Vikas Singh, Advocate for the appellant. Mr.Harsh Aggarwal, Advocate for the respondents. RAJESH BINDAL, J. **** The plaintiff is in second appeal before this Court against the concurrent findings of fact recorded by both the Courts below whereby the suit filed by him challenging the order dated June 3, 1994 levying penalty of Rs.2 lakhs and withholding of two increments with future effect was dismissed inter-alia on the ground that before filing the suit the appellant/plaintiff did not issue notice to respondent/Board under Section 58 of The Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board Act, 1976. Learned counsel for respondents at the very outset pointed out that it was the inquiry conducted against four officers jointly and one of the delinquent officer namely TS Sidhu against whom also the inquiry was conducted alongwith the present appellant, filed civil suit which was dismissed. TS Sidhu filed appeal against the judgment and decree of trial Court which was upheld even upto this Court. RSA No.3680 of 1997 filed by him was dismissed on March 26, 1998. Still further even a review petition filed by him was dismissed by a Division Bench of this Court on 13.1.2006. At one stage the present appeal as well as RSA No.3680 RSA No.3708 of 1997 -2- of 1997 were listed together. However, as it was only the review petition in TS Sidhu's case which was to be heard by the Division Bench, the present appeal was separated. As the issue involved in the present appeal and the appeal filed by TS Sidhu was common and the same having been dismissed by this Court, I do not find any substantial question of law arises in the present appeal as well. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 21.11.2008. JUDGE Reema
