Order
Heard the counsel. The petitioner was an employee of the respondent. He was visited with a departmental enquiry, whereby a punishment of reduction in pay has been imposed on the petitioner for a period of five years. The period of suspension was treated as leave. The petitioner, aggrieved by the said order, preferred an appeal. The appellate authority reduced the punishment from five years to three years. Thereafter, he challenged the same by way of a writ petition in W.P.No.15163 of 2010, which came to be dismissed by this Court by an order dated 18.03.2022. On appeal, the order came to be modified in W.A.No.323 of 2023 dated 24.04.2024 in the following terms. "Considering the previous track record of the appellant, more so, the reward given to him on five occasions, on the one hand and also considering his misconduct on the other, to secure the ends of justice, modifies the aforesaid punishments into one punishment and that being, demotion from the post of Selection Grade Conductor to Senior Grade Conductor for a period of one year. Accordingly, the orders impugned in the writ petition as well as in this writ appeal are modified. In fine, the writ appeal stands disposed of in the above terms. No costs." (emphasis supplied)

2. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the order of the Division Bench, he is receiving reduced pension. Therefore, he made a representation dated 30.05.2026, calling upon the respondents to pass an order in line with the Division Bench judgment in W.A.No.323 of 2023 dated 24.04.2024. As it had not been considered, he is before this Court.
3. When the order of punishment has been interfered with by this Court and the appeal has been disposed of in favour of the writ petitioner, without waiting for the order, the respondents ought to have modified the receivables of the petitioner. Unfortunately, it has not been done so far. Hence, there shall be a direction to the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 30.05.2026 in accordance with the orders passed by the Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.323 of 2023 dated 24.04.2024 within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above directions, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. 23-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No KST
