WP(C) 4703/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE H. BARUAH Heard Mr. T J Mahanta, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Ms. B. Bh uyan, learned standing counsel, PWD who enters appearance and accepts notice for and on behalf of respondent Nos. 1, 2 and 3. The petitioners herein together have challenged the order under Memo No. DPE-8/2 009/23 dated 11.07.2011 passed by Addl. Deputy Commissioner, Dhubri whereby and whereunder one day pay is cut in respect of the petitioners on account of insinc erity and negligence to their official duties on 7.07.2010. The case of the peti tioners, as it appears from records, is that on 7.07.2010, Shri N.A. Laskar, ACS , Addl. Deputy Commissioner, Dhubri visited the office of the respondent Nos. 3, 4 and 5 and while visiting, the petitioners were found absent. Accordingly, tak ing resort to the provision of FR-17 (I) FRSR, pay for one day i.e. on 7.07.2010 has been cut in respect of these petitioners. Admittedly, the Addl. Deputy Comm issioner is not the official head of the respondent Nos. 3, 4 and 5 of which the petitioners belong. Therefore, apparently, the Addl. Deputy Commissioner, does not have jurisdiction to issue such an order. This order was passed without juri sdiction. This order is liable to be set and quashed. It is accordingly done so. Writ petition stands allowed. No cost.
