CWP(T) No. 13407/2008 19.11.2009 Present: Mr. Surinder Saklani, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Adarsh Sharma, Advocate for the respondents. The petitioner has asailed office order dated 14.3.2006 whereby penalty of recovery of Rs. 1,97,710/- in seventy two equal installments has been imposed upon by the petitioner. Mr. Surinder Saklani, Advocate submits that the FIR was also registered against the petitioner after the accident had taken place. The petitioner was tried by the Criminal Court. He was acquitted by the Criminal Court. He has also produced a copy of letter dated 3.2.2009 for the perusal of the Court. A bare perusal of letter dated 3.2.2009 shows that a conscious decision has been taken by the management of the respondent-corporation that in such cases where the drivers have been acquitted in criminal cases, recovery orders are to be withdrawn subject to withdrawal of original application by the official/driver concerned. The copy of letter dated 3.2.2009 is returned after its perusal. Accordingly, since the petitioner has already been acquitted by the Criminal Court, Annexure A-7 dated 14.3.2006 is quashed and set aside. (R.B. Misra), Acting Chief Justice (Rajiv Sharma), Judge November 19, 2009. *awasthi*
