- 1 - S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.7230/2005 DATE OF ORDER : 11/4/2008 HON’BLE JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr.V.N.Kalla, for the petitioner. Mr.Arjun singh, for the respondents. In this case petitioner is challenging the impugned order Annex.5, whereby, the disciplinary authority after conducting the inquiry under Rule 16 of the Rajasthan Civil Service (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1958 inflicted punishment of withholding one grade increment with cumulative effect for the misconduct committed by the petitioner, whereby, loss of Rs.1,63,800/- was caused to the Department. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. In this case, in my opinion, the disciplinary authority after full fledged inquiry and considering the evidence on record has rightly arrived with a finding that misconduct against the petitioner is proved. It is also observed in the finding that due to negligence of petitioner the State Government has suffered loss of Rs.1,63,800/-. No illegality is - 2 - found in the impugned order for which any interference is required. In view of the above, I see no reason to interfere with the finding recorded by disciplinary authority, which is based on cogent evidence and due proceedings in accordance with law conducted by the inquiry officer. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. (GOPAL KRISHAN VAYS), J. pankaj baweja
