AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) Vide impugned order dated 25.1.1988, Annexure P-3, the appeal filed by respondent No.2 under the Haryana State Central Co-operative Bank Staff Common Cadre Rules, 1975 was accepted in part. The petitioner was directed to take the respondent back in service, however, with the following penalties:- “1. His next five annual increments be stopped. 2. An amount of Rs.6529/- be recovered from him which stands proved in charges 5, 10, 11 and 12. 3. In charge No.4 if proof is available money be recovered from his arrear. 4. There will be no break in his service but he will as well not be paid arrears of his pay and CWP No.3411 of 1988 [2] other allowance except Rs.6529/- for which he has been made liable. The bank will not insist on its cash payment at the time of his joining but will deduct from his dues.” Learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to assign any reason in facts or in law to show that the findings recorded are perverse, against record or without jurisdiction. On a pointed query of the Court, learned counsel for the petitioner has informed the Court that the petitioner has been contacted a number of times, however, no response has been received. The counsel has no record or instructions at this stage. As regards merits of the case, it seems that the appellate authority had come to the conclusion that punishment of termination from service was very harsh and excessive. The penalty as detailed above has been awarded. This Court, in exercise of extraordinary jurisdiction, will be wholly unable to interfere with the order of the appellate authority. The petition is dismissed. (AJAI LAMBA) January 12, 2009 JUDGE avin
