(1) wp7777-09 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 7777 OF 2009 Namdeo s/o Asruji Patole PETITIONER VERSUS The State of Maharashtra RESPONDENT ..... Mr. S.N. Pagare, advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. S.K. Kadam, A.G.P. for the Respondent-State. ..... CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE & M.T. JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 2nd AUGUST, 2011 ORAL ORDER: 1. The petition has been filed by a Head Constable in the Police Force against the order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal rejecting his Review Application as well as against the main decision of the Tribunal in his Original Application. The Review Application has been dismissed since there was a delay of 86 days and the reasons submitted by the petitioner were not found convincing by the Tribunal to condone the delay. 2. We have considered the main order passed in the Original Application filed by the petitioner. In (2) wp7777-09 our opinion, there is no need to interfere with the same. The charges against the petitioner were grave in nature and in such circumstances, the petitioner was rightly removed from service. It is submitted that there is no blemish against the petitioner for seventeen years that he had put in service with the Police Department. In our opinion, merely because the petitioner had a clean record, as he claims, it would not absolve the petitioner from the misconduct that he had committed, where the charges were that he had accosted his superior in an inebriated state and he had then threatened to kill him with his rifle. The petition is dismissed. [M.T. JOSHI, J.] [SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.] npj/wp7777-09
