Lingaraja Rath, J.1. The question that falls for decision in this appeal is whether an employee after his acquittal by a Court of law from a charge under Section 409 IPC can be made to face a departmental proceeding on the same charge and be inflicted with penalty of removal from service. Respondent was holding the post of Officer-in-charge in the office of the appellant and was put on trial on charge of misappropriation of Rs. 17,185-07 said to have been committed during the period from 16-8-1969 to 21-7-1973. The case ended in conviction, but in appeal to this Court, he was acquitted holding the charges as having not been proved. Thereafter, departmental proceedings were started on two heads of charges the first being that the respondent had misappropriate Rs. 17,185-07 during the period 16-8-1969 to 21-7-1973, and the other being that he had received different amounts for credit to the Savings Bank Accounts at the Sub-Office but did not account for the amounts in those offices.

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Jun-24-1994

Reported in: 1994(2)ALT151; 1994(2)ALT(Cri)151; 1995CriLJ3402

ORDER1. These two criminal petitions are filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., for quashing the prosecution against the petitioners in S.T.C. Nos. 141 of 1993 and 142 of 1993 on the file of the XXI Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. 2. Sri. A. Gopal Reddy, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, who accused 1 and 2 in the two cases, contends that the prosecution of the present petitioners (A-1 and A-2) is misconceived and it is not maintainable in view of the specific provision of the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970. The Labour Enforcement Officer inspected the staff quarters of the Canara Bank and initiated action on the basis of his inspection conducted on 19-9-1992. He found that security guards were employed in the staff quarters through a contractor and thus it violates Notification No. 779 (2), dated 9-12-1976 and hence it amounts to violation of Section 10(1) of the Act. In S.T.C. 142 of 1993 the allegation is to the effect that 31 contract labourers were...

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Jun-20-1994

Reported in: [1995]98STC109(AP)

Syed Shah Mohammed Quadri, J.1. These four tax revision cases relate to the same assessee and raise common questions and are therefore disposed of by this common order. T.R.C. Nos. 120 and 121 of 1991 deal with the question of assessment whereas T.R.C. Nos. 119 and 122 of 1991 deal with the question of levy of penalty. 2. In these cases the Tribunal found that there had been wilful suppression of the turnover and upheld the action of the authorities in imposing the penalty. The Tribunal also noted that the first appellate authority having considered the facts and circumstances of the case reduced the penalty from five times the tax due, to two times the tax due. Taking the view that the appellate authority had been lenient in reducing the penalty, the Tribunal declined to interfere in the appeal. The orders of the Appellate Tribunal are assailed in these T.R.Cs. 3. Two contentions are raised by Shri S. R. Ashok, learned counsel for the petitioners. The point that was urged before the a...
