CWP(T) No. 10093 of 2008 07.04.2011 Present: Mr. G. R. Palsra, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Ram Murti Bisht, Deputy Advocate General with Mr. Vinod Thakur, Dy. A.G. for respondents/State. In terms of office order dated 26.7.2001 (Annexure PA) petitioner’s pay stands reduced. Admittedly downward revision of pay was without affording any opportunity of hearing/ representation/show cause notice to the petitioner. Downward revision of pay entails civil consequences seriously prejudicing the petitioner inasmuch as recovery is sought to be affected from him. Consequently, as prayed for, on this short ground alone Annexure – PA is quashed. Liberty to take action in accordance with law. All consequences to follow within a reasonable period of time. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. (Sanjay Karol), Judge. April 7, 2011 (PK)
