RSA No. 103 of 2005                    1\n\n        IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA\n                     AT CHANDIGARH\n\n                           RSA No.103 of 2005\n                          Decided on : 25-03-2009\n\nRoshan Lal\n                                                   ....Appellant\n\n                      VERSUS\n\nState of Haryana through Secretary Revenue Department, Haryana,\nChandigarh and another\n                                         ....Respondents<\/pre>\n
CORAM:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER<\/p>\n
Present:-     Mr. Shailender Sharma, Advocate for the appellant<\/p>\n
              Ms. Rajat Goel, AAG, Haryana<\/p>\n
MAHESH GROVER, J<\/p>\n
              This appeal by the plaintiff is directed against the judgment of<\/p>\n
the First Appellate Court dated 18.4.2003.\n<\/p>\n
              The plaintiff-appellant during his tenure of service was found<\/p>\n
guilty of mis-appropriation after regular inquiry was held against him. After<\/p>\n
following the due process of law, the respondents by resorting to the<\/p>\n
provisions of Rule 4 compulsorily retired him from service as a measure of<\/p>\n
punishment.\n<\/p>\n
              The plaintiff-appellant filed a suit that he was entitled to<\/p>\n
pension and based his claim on Rule 5.32A.\n<\/p>\n
              The respondents who contested the suit pleaded that the<\/p>\n
appellant had been compulsorily retired from service as a measure of<\/p>\n
punishment and that Rule 4 contemplates compulsory retirement as one of<\/p>\n
the major punishment which can be inflicted upon a delinquent employee.
\n RSA No. 103 of 2005                    2<\/span><\/p>\n
It was thus contended that since they had resorted to the provisions of Rule<\/p>\n
4 therefore, the benefit of pension etc. which is available to a person who is<\/p>\n
retired compulsorily pursuant to provisions of Rule 5.32A are not available<\/p>\n
to the appellant.\n<\/p>\n
             Following issues were struck by the learned Trial Court upon<\/p>\n
which the parties led their respective evidence:-<\/p>\n
             1. Whether the order dated 22.6.1993 passed by defendant no.2<\/p>\n
               retiring the plaintiff compulsorily is illegal, null and void and<\/p>\n
               liable to be set aside?OPP.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             2. Whether the order dated 4.10.93\/6.10.93 are also illegal, null<\/p>\n
               and void?OPP.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             3. Whether the suit is not maintainable in the present<\/p>\n
               form?OPD.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             4. Relief<\/p>\n
             After appraisal of evidence before it, learned Trial Court<\/p>\n
decreed the suit of the plaintiff-appellant.\n<\/p>\n
             In appeal filed by the State of Haryana the findings of learned<\/p>\n
Trial Court were upset by learned First Appellate Court.<\/p>\n
             This has resulted in the instant regular second appeal.<\/p>\n
             It was contended by the learned counsel for the appellant with<\/p>\n
reference to Rule 5.32A that he has completed 21 years of service with the<\/p>\n
respondents and consequently he was entitled to the benefit of pension.<\/p>\n
             On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent stated<\/p>\n
that Rule 4 provides for compulsory retirement as a measure of punishment<\/p>\n
which was awarded to the appellant and since he was granted the<\/p>\n
punishment after following the due process of law he could not claim any
\n RSA No. 103 of 2005                     3<\/span><\/p>\n
benefit of pension.\n<\/p>\n
            I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have perused<\/p>\n
the impugned judgment.\n<\/p>\n
            Rule 5.32-A is extracted hereunder:-\n<\/p>\n
                      (a) A government employee is entitled, on his resignation<\/p>\n
      being accepted, to a retiring pension after completing qualifying<\/p>\n
      service of not less than 30 years, but a competent authority may<\/p>\n
      permit the pension to be granted in Special Cases where the<\/p>\n
      qualifying service is not less than 25 years.”\n<\/p>\n
            Similarly, Rule 4 is also extracted hereunder:-<\/p>\n
            Penalities (1) the following penalities may, for good and<\/p>\n
sufficient reasons and as hereinafter provided be imposed on a Government<\/p>\n
employee namely:-\n<\/p>\n
            Minor Penalities<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
            (i)       ——-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            (ii)      -------\n            (iii)     -------\n            (iv)      -------\n            (v)       ------\n            Major Penalities\n            (vi)      ------\n            (vii) ------\n            (viii) Compulsory retirement.\n            (ix)      -------\n            (x)       -------\n<\/pre>\n
            Explanation:- The following shall not amount to a penalty
\nwithin the meaning of this rule, namely:-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            (i)       ------\n            (ii)      ------\n            (iii)     ------\n RSA No. 103 of 2005                       4<\/span>\n\n            (iv)      ------\n            (v)       ------\n            (vi)      compulsorily retirement of a Government employee in\n<\/pre>\n
accordance with the provisions relating to his superannuation or retirement.<\/p>\n
            A perusal of the aforesaid provisions of law reflects that both<\/p>\n
these provisions are on a separate pedestal; one which contemplates<\/p>\n
compulsory retirement of a Government employee in accordance with<\/p>\n
provisions relating to his superannuation, retirement or based on the opinion<\/p>\n
of the employer who wants to weed out the dead wood and the other ie.<\/p>\n
Rule 4 in which compulsory retirement is contemplated as a major<\/p>\n
punishment. Both these Rules being independent of each other cannot be<\/p>\n
read into each other. There is no denial to the fact that the appellant was<\/p>\n
proceeded against departmentally and held guilty of mis-appropriation and<\/p>\n
after issuing proper show cause notice and complying with other legal<\/p>\n
niceties, he was awarded the major punishment of compulsory retirement by<\/p>\n
resorting to the provisions of Rule 4. He is, thus, clearly precluded from the<\/p>\n
benefits of Rule 5.32A.          A delinquent employee who suffers a major<\/p>\n
punishment for his acts and conduct during the tenure of his service cannot<\/p>\n
expect to be rewarded of other benefits and more so when the Rule prohibits<\/p>\n
the grant of such a benefit. It has further been contended by learned counsel<\/p>\n
for the appellant that according to Rule 6.162 there is no bar to his being<\/p>\n
granted the pension.\n<\/p>\n
            I am afraid that this contention is totally misplaced. Rule 6.16<\/p>\n
is also extracted hereunder:-\n<\/p>\n
                               “6.16. For Government employees referred to in<\/p>\n
            rule 1.2-BH, the amount of superannuation, retiring, invalid and<\/p>\n
            compensation gratuity and pension will be the appropriate
\n RSA No. 103 of 2005                  5<\/span><\/p>\n
            amount, set out in the table below, and no additional or special<\/p>\n
            Additional Pension will be granted:”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            The aforesaid Rule contemplates the manner and mode in<\/p>\n
which the compensation, gratuity and pension and the appropriate amount to<\/p>\n
be awarded is to be given in cases of employees referred to in Rule who<\/p>\n
sunperannuate, retire or are invalidated etc. It nowhere contemplates the<\/p>\n
grant of pension to delinquent employee who suffers major punishment.<\/p>\n
Thus, no ground to interfere is made. That apart no substantial question of<\/p>\n
law has been shown to have arisen for the consideration of this Court and<\/p>\n
the appeal being devoid of any merit is hereby dismissed.<\/p>\n
