By this judgments, three Regular Second Appeals bearing nos.  3078 &amp; 3249 of 2001 and 1160 of 2003 are being disposed of as they  involve common questions of facts.  The Punjab State Warehousing Corporation (hereinafter  described as `the Corporation&#8217;) filed suits for recovery of different amounts  along with interest against the respondents, who are its employees, on  account of defalcation in urea and shortage of rice etc. The trial Court  dismissed the suits and in appeals, the findings recorded by it were affirmed  by the lower Appellate Court. However, in R.S.A. No. 3078 of 2001, the  lower Appellate Court, while parting with the judgment, had observed as  under:\n<\/p>\n<p> The up shot of the whole discussion is that the appeal  filed by the plaintiff-Corporation is without any substance and  is hereby dismissed with costs. The dismissal of the appeal of  the plaintiff appellant will, however, be without prejudice to  their rights to take necessary action in the light of the fresh  enquiry report copy Ex.D18 conducted in the case. Decree  Sheet be prepared. File be consigned to record room.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. At the time of issuance of notice of motion in R.S.A. No. 3078  of 2001, learned Counsel for the appellant had contended that as far as  respondent nos. 2 and 3 are concerned, he has no objection if the impugned  judgments are held to be final against them and his grievance is only against  respondent no.1. This appeal will, therefore, be treated only qua respondent  no.1-Kiran Singh. A perusal of the record of this appeal shows that in the  disciplinary proceedings conducted by the Corporation, the Appellate Authority had held that there was no loss of bags as alleged and on that  account, the punishment inflicted upon Kiran Singh was reduced from that  of dismissal to that of compulsory retirement and recovery.  Learned Counsel for the appellant has contended that similar  liberty ought to have been granted to the Corporation, as was granted by the  lower Appellate Court (reproduced above) which is the subject-matter of  R.S.A. No. 3078 of 2001, to take necessary action against the respondents in  other appeals.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. Learned Counsel for the respondents has, however, pointed out  that there is only one enquiry which has been got conducted to which  reference has been made in R.S.A. No. 3078 of 2001 and in other appeals, no  fresh enquiry was conducted and, therefore, the prayer of the learned  counsel for the appellant is misconceived.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. I have considered the submissions of the learned Counsel and  am of the opinion that no liberty can be granted to the Corporation to take  action against the respondents, especially in view of the fact that the  Appellate Authority in one of the cases, has held that there is no loss and in  other connected cases, it has come to the conclusion that no recovery could  be effected from respondent no.1 and thereafter, the order of punishing  authority had been set aside in toto in appeal. Even otherwise, there are  concurrent findings of fact recorded by the Courts below. No question of  law survives in the present appeals and the same are dismissed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Punjab State Warehousing &#8230; vs Kiran Singh And Ors.
