IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3049 OF 2007 DATE OF DECISION: February 27, 2007 Parties Name Sushil Verma ..PETITIONER VERSUS Punjab and Haryana High Court and others ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD K. SHARMA PRESENT: Mr. Pankaj Jain, Advocate, for the petitioner. JASBIR SINGH, J. (oral) Order. District and Sessions Judge, Faridabad, vide order dated January 10, 2006, on account of negligence shown in the performance of duties ordered stoppage of one annual increment of the petitioner without cumulative effect. He came in appeal before this Court. While dismissing his appeal, it was observed thus: “After hearing the appellant in court and perusing the findings recorded by the learned District & Sessions Judge, Faridabad, I am unable to hold that the appellant had no responsibility whatsoever. No doubt, improvement may be needed in the procedure of maintenance of record by requiring an entry to be made in an appropriate register in respect of record which may be lying but Civil Ahlmad cannot be totally exonerated. I, therefore, do not find any ground to set aside the impugned order. The appeal is dismissed . Learned District & Sessions Judge, Faridbad, is directed to evolve a better procedure so that such incidents are not repeated and record must be put in specific charge of some official who may be required to make entry in an appropriate register. This arrangement must be over-seen periodically by some higher responsible functionary of the court.” Perusal of record indicates that the petitioner was not diligent in the performance of his duties. He failed to show, very important documents, to the Presiding Officer. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed. ( Jasbir Singh ) Judge (Vinod K. Sharma) February 27, 2007. Judge DKC
