THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE HIMA KOHLI
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. VIJAYSEN REDDY
W.A.No.212 OF 2020
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Hima Kohli)
1. The present appeal is directed against an order dated
06.02.2020 passed by the learned Single Judge dismissing
W.P.No.1673 of 2020 filed by the appellant, who was aggrieved by
the decision taken by the respondent authorities to defer his promotion
to the post of Forest Range Officer on the ground that on the date of consideration for promotion, no articles of charge had been served on him.
2. On enquiring from learned counsel for the appellant, he concedes that subsequently, the charge sheet was served on the appellant and an enquiry was conducted and as per the recommendations made by the Enquiry Officer, the Disciplinary Authority had passed an order dated 20.11.2020 imposing a penalty of withholding of one increment with cumulative effect. He submits that in view of the subsequent events, the appellant does not wish to press the appeal. However, learned counsel requests that the issue raised in the present appeal may be kept open for adjudication in any case that may arise in the future.
