THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SATISH CHANDRA SHARMA
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAJASHEKER REDDY
WRIT APPEAL No.880 of 2019
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma)
The present writ appeal is arising out of the order
dated 30.10.2018 passed by the learned Single Judge in
W.P.No.14987 of 2002.
The facts of the case reveal that for absence of only
eight days, the respondent herein was removed from
service by an order 19.06.1997. He preferred an appeal as well as review petition. The reviewing authority passed an order of reversion on 20.03.2001 and the said order was subjected to judicial scrutiny before this Court. As it was a case of removal which was modified to that of reversion to lower rank, the learned Single Judge has remanded the matter back to the reviewing authority to take appropriate decision keeping in view the fact that the punishment awarded is shockingly disproportionate to the guilt of the employee.
Now as the Corporation has come up in appeal, this Court does not find reason to interfere with the order passed by the learned Single Judge, as the matter has 2 been remanded back to the reviewing authority to take a fresh decision in the matter.
The writ appeal is accordingly dismissed. The miscellaneous applications pending in this writ appeal, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
