Author: Pradeep Nandrajog<\/div>\n
$~13\n*    IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI\n\n%                                Date of order : September 05, 2011\n\n+      W.P.(C) 6988\/2001\n\n       SHER SINGH                                 .....

JUSTICE PRADEEP NANDRAJOG\nHON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SUNIL GAUR\n\n1. Whether the Reporters of local papers may be allowed\n   to see the judgment?\n2. To be referred to Reporter or not?\n3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?\nPRADEEP NANDRAJOG, J.\n<\/pre>\n
1.     Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the
\nrecord.\n<\/p>\n
2.     Of the various averments made in the writ petition and
\ngrounds urged in support of the prayer, learned counsel urges
\nthat there is no evidence to sustain the first and second charge.
\nCounsel highlights that 5 witnesses of the prosecution have
\ndeposed only with respect to Charge No.III.\n<\/p>\n
3.     Counsel urges that the verdict of guilt at the Summary
\nSecurity Force Court Trial returns petitioner guilty of all 3
\ncharges and penalty imposed is of dismissal from service. It is
\nurged that the penalty has to be set aside for the reason it is
\npremised as if petitioner is guilty of all 3 charges.\n<\/p>\n

 4.     Alternate submission made is that if all 3 charges stand
\nproved, penalty of dismissal from service is disproportionate to
\nthe gravity of offences.\n<\/p>\n
5.     3 charges on which the petitioner was tried at the
\nSummary Security Force Court Trial reads as under:-\n<\/p>\n
       “The accused No.89401396 Const.Sher Singh of \u201eC\u201f Coy.5

                           Total period of absence w.e.f. 26.3.2000
\n                           to 22.6.2000 (AN) for 89 days.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                                                              (D.S.RATHORE)
\n                                                               COMMANDANT
\n                                                                5th Bn. B.S.F.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       6.     The original record of the trial produced would reveal
\n       that SI\/RM Joginder Ram PW-1, HC Ranbir Singh PW-2, HC
\n       V.B.Karjagi PW-3 and SI S.D.Sharma PW-4 deposed with
\n       respect     to   Article   I    of     the   charge.   The   testimony
\n       establishes that while undergoing 14 days RI, required to
\n       carry out pack drill, petitioner refused saying that he does
\n       not accept the punishment.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       7.     Pertaining to the second charge, HC Ram Pal Singh
\n       PW-1, Ct.P.K.Hazarika PW-2, Shri N.D.Bahuguna PW-3
\n       deposed with respect to Charge No.II and their evidences
\n       establish that the petitioner refused to take his uniform
\n       belt and cap after he completed 14 days RI and the refusal
\n       was in an arrogant manner.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       8.     Record further shows that HC Dalip Singh PW-1,
\n       Ct.Rajinder      Narjary       PW-2,    SI   Sangram    Singh    PW-3,
\n       Ct.Krishan Lal PW-4 and SI S.D.Sharma PW-5 have deposed
\n       with respect to the 3rd charge and we highlight that their
\nW.P.(C) No. 6988\/2001                                               Page 3 of 6<\/span>
\n        testimony establishes that the petitioner had absented
\n       himself without leave as alleged as per the 3rd charge.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       9.     Thus, the argument that the first 2 charges have
\n       been held established without any evidence is incorrect.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       10.    It appears that          the basis     of   the plea is the
\n       Commandant of the Unit who acted as the Court, listing
\n       the various prosecution witnesses as PW-1 onwards
\n       separately for each charge.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       11.    On the issue of the proportionality of the sentence,
\n       record shows that this was not the first misdemeanor
\n       which was detected.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       12.    The       petitioner   had    11   years    service     and    was
\n       penalized twice. Once for unauthorisedly possessing 8
\n       bottles of rum for which 14 days RI was inflicted on
\n       22.10.1991.          Second      punishment        was       for     being
\n       unauthorized absence for 9 days and for which 7 days
\n       extra duty as a penalty was inflicted apart from 14 days RI.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       13.    Record       shows     that   on   3   occasions      petitioner\u201fs
\n       unauthorized absence was condoned and regularised.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       14.    ACR record of the petitioner is also not very healthy.
\n       An adverse remark has been entered for the year 1997
\n       that petitioner was careless, talkative, disobedient and a
\n       habitual drinker, and that except for drawing salary he had
\n       no inclination to work. For the year 2000, the adverse
\n       entry recorded is that the petitioner is a disobedient
\n       soldier. He does not obey the command of the seniors and
\n       enters into a verbal quarrel. He is a habitual drinker and
\n       was not recommended for promotion.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       15.    It is settled law that past conduct can always be
\n       considered on the issue of proportionality of the penalty
\nW.P.(C) No. 6988\/2001                                                 Page 4 of 6<\/span>
\n        imposed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       16.    At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner prays
\n       that since the petitioner has a family consisting of 3 minor
\n       children, notwithstanding penalty of dismissal from service
\n       being inflicted, it may be directed that in terms of Rule 41
\n       of the CCS (Pension) Rules, a compassionate allowance be
\n       sanctioned and be paid to the petitioner.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       17.    We note that as per the mandate of Rule 24 of the
\n       CCS (Pension) Rules, dismissal or removal of a government
\n       servant from service or post entails forfeiture of past
\n       service, and so is the mandate of sub-rule 1 of Rule 41, but
\n       the proviso thereof empowers the Competent Authority,
\n       who has dismissed or removed from service a government
\n       servant may sanction a compensation pension.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       18.    While dismissing the writ petition without any order
\n       as to costs, we observe that if the petitioner makes a
\n       representation to the Competent Authority who has
\n       dismissed        the petitioner from    service,   the authority
\n       concerned would consider the request in terms of the
\n       proviso to sub-rule 1 of Rule 41 of the CCS (Pension) Rules
\n       and if it is opined that it is a deserving case or there are
\n       special circumstances, i.e. a case is made out within the
\n       proviso to sub-rule 1 of Rule 41 of CCS (Pension) Rules,
\n       compensation pension would be disbursed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       19.    If the petitioner were to make a representation as
\n       aforesaid,       necessary   decision   would   be   taken    and
\n       conveyed to the petitioner within 6 weeks and if request is
\n       accepted, compensation pension would be disbursed as
\n       per the Rules.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       20.    Noting the facts herein above, we see no scope to
\nW.P.(C) No. 6988\/2001                                         Page 5 of 6<\/span>
\n        mitigate the quantum of penalty and thus we dismiss the
\n       writ petition but refrain from imposing costs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
