Full Judgment
(ORAL)
Justice V.K. Bali, Chairman:
1. Sequel to a regular departmental enquiry, the applicant, who was Director (Engineering), was inflicted punishment of reduction of pay by one stage in the time scale of pay till his retirement, vide orders dated 02.07.2008. The applicant superannuated on 31.08.2008. Against the order dated 2.7.2008, the applicant filed statutory appeal on 15.06.2011, which was barred by a period of about three years. Concededly, no application for condonation of delay was filed nor even a mention was made in the appeal itself as to what were the reasons which prevented him to file an appeal earlier in point of time i.e. within 45 days from the date on which a copy of the impugned order came to be delivered to him. We are of the considered view that the appellate authority has rightly rejected the appeal of the applicant.
2. Finding no merit, present Original Application stands dismissed.
