IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 17882 of 2010. [O&M] Date of Decision: 23rd December, 2010. Hari Singh Petitioner through Mr. Sanjeev Sharma, Advocate Versus Indian Red Cross Society & Ors. Respondents through Mr. Y.P.Singla, Advocate. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL] This writ petition is directed against the order dated 25.01.2010 [Annexure P-10] passed by respondent No.1, as well as the order dated 27.05.2010 [Annexure P-12] dismissing the petitioner's appeal against the afore-stated order. Vide the impugned order dated 25.01.2010 [Annexure P10] the petitioner's absence period was ordered to be considered 'without leave'. Aggrieved, the petitioner filed an appeal which has been dismissed by the Appellate Authority by passing one line order that “there is no substance in the appeal which warrant reversion of the punishment .....” Having heard learned counsel for the parties, I am of the considered view that the Appellate Authority ought to have dealt with the contentions raised by the petitioner and decided the appeal by passing a speaking order. The writ petition is accordingly allowed in part; the impugned appellate order dated 27.05.2010 [Annexure P-12] is set aside and the Appellate Authority is directed to re-decide the petitioner's appeal afresh by passing a reasoned order, preferably within a period of three months from the date a certified copy of this order is received. Disposed of. Dasti. December 23, 2010. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
