MC 2843/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE JUSTICE MR B.K. SHARMA By means of this application, the writ petitioner involved in WP(C) No. 4627/2006 has prayed for depositing the amount in question in 5(five) equal mont hly instalments. In paragraph 14 of the said judgement, it has been observed thu s :- 14. As regards recovery of the amount, as reflected in the impugned order su ffice is to say that the petitioner being responsible for loss of Government mon ey, the Disciplinary Authority is entitled to recover the same from his pay and allowances. Such recovery cannot be projected to be a penalty so as to contend t hat a further penalty of stoppage of three annual increments with cumulative eff ect could not have been imposed. The Disciplinary Authority is entitled to get r ecovery of the amount which it has lost on account of the delinquent officer on the basis of the proven charge. The said authority is also entitled to impose on e more punishment in the disciplinary proceeding i.e. what has been done in the instant case. In view of the above, the petitioner is bound to deposit the amount in q uestion which he seeks to do in five equal monthly instalments. I have heard Mr. A. Roshid, learned counsel for the writ petitioner-appl icant as well as Mr. S. Sumoria, learned Standing Counsel, Agriculture Departmen t. Considering the matter in its entirety, the prayer made in this applicat ion is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to deposit the amount in question in five equal monthly instalments starting from November, 2011. MC stands disposed off.
