: 1 : app.428.2011 vss IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY O.O.C.J. APPEAL NO.428 OF 2011 Ramesh (Ramashray Ram) Rampatal Passi .. Appellant V/s. Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. & Anr. .. Respondents Ms.Rohini M. Dandekar for the Appellant Mr.J.P. Cama, Sr.Adv. With Mr.R.S. Pai i/b Sanjay Udeshi & Co. for the Respondents CORAM: A.M. KHANWILKAR & R.Y. GANOO, JJ. DATED: AUGUST 9, 2011 P.C. 1. Heard the Counsel for the parties. The argument of the advocate for the Appellant that the appellant had an unblemished record of long service coupled with the fact that the amount has been fully recovered and no loss has been caused to the Corporation, for which reason penalty imposed by the authority is inappropriate, does not commend to us. The fact remains that the appellant admitted the charge framed against him. The charge being of serious nature, the only major penalty that could be imposed for the proved misconduct and the Standing Orders only provide for dismissal by way of major penalty. 2. In this view of the matter, the question of awarding any other punishment does not arise. In any case, we are in agreement with the opinion expressed by the learned Single Judge even on the quantum of punishment. Hence, the Petition is dismissed. ( R.Y. GANOO, J.) (A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
