ORDER
The present writ petition has been filed challenging the order dated 15.11.2023.
2. When the matter was heard on 14.08.2026, this Court has passed the following order: The learned Counsel for the petitioner would submit that though a disciplinary proceedings initiated against him and a punishment of stoppage of increment for 3 years with cumulative effect was ordered, subsequently, the same was recalled, as the petitioner was willing to make good the loss. He was also served with the order of revocation of suspension and he has been continuously doing duty. While so, without issuing any notice, without affording an opportunity of hearing and without there being any compelling reason, the said order was revoked vide order dated 15.11.2023, which was subsequently communicated to this petitioner. It is the contention of the petitioner that such order is liable to be interfered with for not following the principles of natural justice.
2. At this juncture, the learned Government Advocate seeks for a short accommodation to get instructions.
3. Post on 21.08.2026.
3. Today, the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the 1st and 2nd respondents would contend that the charge against the petitioner has

not been closed and only the suspension was revoked. But in all fairness, he would submit that as of now, there are no records to demonstrate the compliance of principles of natural justice before revoking the order dated 03.10.2023. However, it is the contention of the learned Additional Government Pleader that the petitioner has got an appellate remedy. Therefore, the writ petition is not maintainable.
4. From the above submission, notwithstanding the other objections raised by the learned Additional Government Pleader, this Court could not find any materials for compliance of principles of natural justice, which definitely would cause prejudice to the petitioner. Hence, this Court finds all reasons to interfere with the impugned order dated 15.11.2023. Accordingly, the impugned order is quashed and the matter is remitted back to the respondent authority. The respondent authority is directed to reconsider the above issue, after following the principles of natural justice and in accordance with law and on its own merits. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 09-09-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No vsi
