LPA No. 173 of 2011 (O&M) -1- IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH LPA No. 173 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: November 01, 2011 Rameshwar Kumar …Appellant Versus The Director, PGI and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJIV NARAIN RAINA Present: Mr. Pritam Saini, 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, Acg. CJ. 1. The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against judgment dated 19.07.2010 dismissing the writ petition filed by the writ petitioner-appellant. There are categorical findings recorded in the inquiry report that the appellant has outraged the modesty of the patient who was admitted to ICU and also made derogatory sexual comment while she was tracheostomized (surgery on wind pipe). The conduct of the appellant depicts depravity having molested the young girl. The appellant had been working in the Operation Theatre. His statutory appeal has been dismissed and even the writ petition has failed with various remarks by the learned Single Judge. 2. Having heard learned counsel, we are of the considered view that such like incident and conduct of a technician (Operation LPA No. 173 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Theatre Assistant Grade-III) in bringing the institution to disrepute and works to the detriment of the confidence repose in such high institution, the punishment of dismissal would be the only punishment. 3. Accordingly, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. (M.M. KUMAR) ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE (RAJIV NARAIN RAINA) JUDGE November 01, 2011 Atul
