THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.28934 of 1998 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed challenging the order passed by the appellate authority dated 18.6.1998 confirming the order passed by the Disciplinary Authority dated 2.2.1998 awarding punishment of bringing down the scale of pay upto two stages and fixing the petitioner’s basic pay at eighteenth stage of his scale of pay i.e. at Rs.4875/- with effect from 2.2.1998. It appears, petitioner while working as Clerk-cum-Cashier in the Respondent bank at Eluru, West Godavari district, he was proceeded with departmentally on certain charges and was imposed with punishment of stoppage of two increments for two years by the disciplinary authority. Questioning the same, petitioner filed appeal before the appellate authority, but the appellate authority confirmed the order passed by the disciplinary authority. Hence this writ petition. A detailed counter affidavit is filed by the respondents denying the allegations made by the petitioner stating that the impugned order was in force for a period of two years and thereafter it was raised and the salary of the petitioner was restored after completion of two years and subsequently thereafter, the petitioner was further promoted as JMGS-I Officer with effect from 1.1.2003. In view of the above, nothing survives in this writ petition for further adjudication and the same is accordingly closed. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 26.9.2007 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.28934 of 1998 26.9.2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.
