JUSTICE SANGEET LODHA<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Sandeep Shah, for the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Sunil Bhandari for Mr. M.R. Singhvi, for the respondents.<\/p>\n<p>1.    Heard learned counsel for the parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.    This writ petition is directed against order dated 16.10.96<\/p>\n<p>passed by the Disciplinary Authority imposing the punishment of<\/p>\n<p>withholding of two grades increments with cumulative effect upon<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner for charge of misconduct proved against him, order<\/p>\n<p>dated 2.9.99 passed by the Appellate Authority reducing the<\/p>\n<p>punishment of stoppage of two grade increments with cumulative<\/p>\n<p>effect to that of censure and order dated 2.11.2004 passed by the<\/p>\n<p>Reviewing Authority rejecting the review petition preferred by the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner for review of the aforesaid orders. Besides, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner has also sought direction against the respondent to<\/p>\n<p>extend all consequential benefit to him including the consideration<\/p>\n<p>of his case for grant of second selection grade on completion of 18<\/p>\n<p>years of service.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.     The petitioner working as Excise Inspector Gr.I with the<\/p>\n<p>Department of Excise, Government of Rajasthan, was served with a<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>notice under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Civil Services (Classification,<\/p>\n<p>Control &amp; Appeal) Rules, 1958 (for short &#8216;the Rules of 1958&#8217;),<\/p>\n<p>proposing disciplinary action against him with the allegation that<\/p>\n<p>during the year 1993-94, he has failed to register the minimum<\/p>\n<p>number of cases in conformity with the norms prescribed which<\/p>\n<p>reflects his carelessness and dereliction towards the duties. The<\/p>\n<p>petitioner submitted his representation stating therein that prior<\/p>\n<p>to 1991 Pokaran Excise Division was under the Jaisalmer Range and<\/p>\n<p>during the period 1988-89, 1989-90 and 1990-91 total number of<\/p>\n<p>cases registered under the Pokaran Range were only 4,3 &amp; 2<\/p>\n<p>respectively. It was submitted that there was not much violation of<\/p>\n<p>the excise laws during the relevant period in the Pokaran Range,<\/p>\n<p>therefore, even after the best efforts only 14 cases could be<\/p>\n<p>registered. It was submitted that there was no negligence on his<\/p>\n<p>part in achieving the target. However, after consideration of the<\/p>\n<p>representation made by the petitioner the Disciplinary Authority<\/p>\n<p>found the petitioner guilty of the charge levelled against him and<\/p>\n<p>accordingly, imposed the punishment of withholding two grade<\/p>\n<p>increments without cumulative effect vide order dated 16.10.96.<\/p>\n<p>On appeal, the punishment of withholding two grade increments<\/p>\n<p>imposed by the Disciplinary Authority was reduced to censure by<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the Appellate Authority vide order dated 2.9.99. A review petition<\/p>\n<p>preferred by the petitioner under Rule 34 of the Rules of 1958 was<\/p>\n<p>rejected by the Reviewing Authority vide order dated 2.11.2004.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, this petition.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.    It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that<\/p>\n<p>mere non fulfillment of projected target of registering the cases<\/p>\n<p>under the Excise Law without anything more does not warrant<\/p>\n<p>imposition of punishment. It is submitted that registration of the<\/p>\n<p>case always depend on actual commission of offences, therefore,<\/p>\n<p>not achieving the target by itself cannot give rise to disciplinary<\/p>\n<p>action against an employee. The learned counsel submitted that it<\/p>\n<p>has not been proved that the petitioner was negligent in<\/p>\n<p>discharging of his duties, therefore, the penalty imposed is<\/p>\n<p>absolutely unjustified. In this regard, the learned counsel has<\/p>\n<p>relied upon a bench decision of this Court in &#8216;State of Rajasthan &amp;<\/p>\n<p>Ors. Vs. Lala Ram&#8217; 2002 (1) WLC (Raj.) 189. Regarding delay, it is<\/p>\n<p>submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that delay in<\/p>\n<p>filing the writ petition has been explained satisfactorily in para 12<\/p>\n<p>of the writ petition. It is submitted by the learned counsel that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner remained under the belief that the punishment of<\/p>\n<p>censure would not adversely affect his service career.<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>5.    Per contra, it is submitted by the learned counsel appearing<\/p>\n<p>on behalf of the respondents that since the petitioner has failed to<\/p>\n<p>achieve the projected target, therefore, he has rightly been guilty<\/p>\n<p>of the charge of misconduct levelled against him. It is submitted<\/p>\n<p>by the learned counsel that the penalty of withholding of two<\/p>\n<p>grade increments without cumulative effect by the Disciplinary<\/p>\n<p>Authority has already been reduced to that of censure by the<\/p>\n<p>Appellate Authority, therefore, the sufficient relief already stands<\/p>\n<p>granted to the petitioner and the orders impugned does not<\/p>\n<p>warrant any interference by this Court.      It is submitted by the<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel that the writ petition preferred by the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>suffers from inordinate and unexplained delay inasmuch as after<\/p>\n<p>rejection of the review petition, the present writ petition has been<\/p>\n<p>filed after lapse of about more than one year.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.    I have considered the rival submissions and perused the<\/p>\n<p>material on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.    It is to be noticed that the only allegation against the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner is that failure on his part in achieving the projected<\/p>\n<p>target of registering the cases for violation of Excise Laws, reflects<\/p>\n<p>his carelessness and dereliction towards the duties. It is not the<\/p>\n<p>case of the respondents that though the offences of breaches or<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>violation of the Excise Law were committed within the area falling<\/p>\n<p>within the jurisdiction of the appellant more than the cases<\/p>\n<p>registered by him yet on account of his negligence the cases were<\/p>\n<p>not registered. It goes without saying that the registration of the<\/p>\n<p>cases depends on actual occurrence of the offences, therefore, the<\/p>\n<p>allegation of not achieving the projected target of registering cases<\/p>\n<p>by itself shall not constitute       &#8216;misconduct&#8217; so as to warrant<\/p>\n<p>disciplinary action against the employee.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.    As a matter of fact, the controversy involved in the present<\/p>\n<p>case stands covered by the Bench decision of this Court in Lala<\/p>\n<p>Ram&#8217;s case (supra) wherein after due consideration the Court<\/p>\n<p>observed :\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      &#8220;The principle enunciated in Sunil Grover&#8217;s case is<br \/>\n      relevant to the facts and circumstances of this case.<br \/>\n      One must make a distinction between cases of targets<br \/>\n      fixed for positive results from implementing any<br \/>\n      statute or policy of Govt. in any field of achievements<br \/>\n      on the one hand and targets fixed for registering<br \/>\n      number of cases for breaches or violation of law, which<br \/>\n      is       dependent     on    actual    commission    of<br \/>\n      breaches\/obligations by the subjects of such law.<br \/>\n      Number of breaches or violations of law cannot be<br \/>\n      presumed to take place so as to make it incumbent<br \/>\n      upon an officer to register and detect minimum<br \/>\n      number of cases of such breaches. Acting with<br \/>\n      vigilance and registration of cases are not necessarily<br \/>\n      one and same thing. The latter activity can only be<br \/>\n      justified on detection of breaches or violation of law.<br \/>\n      Without finding any such existing breaches so as to<br \/>\n      establish nexus between officer&#8217;s conduct with the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      alleged act of negligence, no adverse consequence of<br \/>\n      punishment can befall the incumbent. One cannot<br \/>\n      countenance motivation to register a sizable number<br \/>\n      of cases for breach of law, to windowdress the<br \/>\n      effectiveness of law through demonstrative statistics.<br \/>\n      It is a bad governance and counter productive to breed<br \/>\n      any respect for law to be an effective means of social<br \/>\n      change, apart from the fact that it reflects a sad<br \/>\n      commentary on policy framers who start with<br \/>\n      assumption that laws framed by the State shall not<br \/>\n      receive general acceptability and will result in large<br \/>\n      scale non-observance of law by the people who are to<br \/>\n      be its subject. Compelling any officer to register an<br \/>\n      officer of the State to involve a minimum number of<br \/>\n      people in accusation of law breaking at the pains of<br \/>\n      suffering disciplinary enquiry solely for non fulfillment<br \/>\n      of such target is anything but reasonable without<br \/>\n      material to suggest that cases of such breaches do<br \/>\n      exist, but has gone undetected due to negligence of<br \/>\n      the officer. It leads to registering increasingly false<br \/>\n      and non-existent cases to make up the statistics. In<br \/>\n      order to obviate such abuse, it is necessary that before<br \/>\n      an incumbent is held negligent in discharge of his<br \/>\n      duties, such nexus is established.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>9.    In view of the position of law settled by this Court as<\/p>\n<p>aforesaid, in absence of any allegation that the offences<\/p>\n<p>committed during the year in question has gone undetected due to<\/p>\n<p>negligence of the petitioner, he cannot be held guilty for any<\/p>\n<p>misconduct of negligence or carelessness in discharge of duties as<\/p>\n<p>Excise Inspector.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.   Coming to the question of delay in filing the writ petition, it<\/p>\n<p>is to be noticed that in para 12 of the writ petition explaining the<\/p>\n<p>delay in filing the writ petition, it is stated by the petitioner that<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>he was granted benefit of selection grade after completion of 9<\/p>\n<p>years of service vide order dated 3.11.97 w.e.f. 18.8.96, however,<\/p>\n<p>thereafter when the petitioner claimed second selection grade on<\/p>\n<p>completion of 18 years of service in the month of December, 2005,<\/p>\n<p>he was informed that on account of punishment of censure the<\/p>\n<p>second selection grade to be granted on completion of 18 years of<\/p>\n<p>service should be deferred for a period of one year. Therefore,<\/p>\n<p>considering the adverse effect of the order impugned , the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner has preferred this writ petition immediately thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>On the facts and in the circumstances of the case, in considered<\/p>\n<p>opinion of this Court, the explanation submitted by the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>is plausible and acceptable and the writ petition cannot be<\/p>\n<p>dismissed solely on the ground of delay. Moreover, keeping in view<\/p>\n<p>the finding arrived at as aforesaid that the allegations said to be<\/p>\n<p>proved   against   the   petitioner   does   not    even   constitute<\/p>\n<p>misconduct , in the considered opinion of this court , it will be<\/p>\n<p>against the interest of justice to dismiss the writ petition solely on<\/p>\n<p>the ground of delay .\n<\/p>\n<p>11.   In the result, the writ petition succeeds, it is hereby<\/p>\n<p>allowed. Orders impugned dated        16.10.96 (Annexure-3), 2.9.99<\/p>\n<p>(Annexure-4) and 2.11.04 (Annexure-6) are quashed and set aside.<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                            8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>           The petitioner shall be entitled for all consequential benefits.
