| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the findings of the learned trial Court were maintained. The appellant, serving as LM-II, was found guilty of involvement in illegal tubewell connection and admitted his guilt during the personal hearing. The penalty of compulsory retirement was imposed after a proper procedure was followed. The appellant had also received all pensionary benefits as per his request after his retirement. The departmental appeal made was barred by limitation, and the grievance petition was dismissed accordingly. |
| Summary |
In this case, the appellant, who served as LM-II, faced compulsory retirement due to involvement in illegal activities concerning tubewell connections. He was issued a show-cause notice and subsequently admitted his guilt, which led to the imposition of a major penalty. Despite contesting the decision, the Labour Appellate Tribunal upheld the trial court's ruling, emphasizing that the appellant had received all entitled pensionary benefits and that any appeal he filed was out of time. The case highlights procedural compliance and the importance of maintaining records in legal appeals, particularly under the Punjab Industrial Relations Act, 2010. Key terms such as 'compulsory retirement', 'departmental appeal', and 'pensionary benefits' are crucial for understanding the implications of this ruling. |
