Nirbhay Singh Kushwaha Vs. State and ors.

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Dec-10-2003

Reported in: 2004(1)MPHT263; 2004(1)MPLJ478

ORDERA.K. Shrivastava, J.1. Though this petition has been listed today for final hearing, however, on the consent of learned Counsel for the parties, they are heard finally.The petitioner who was serving on the post of Forester has been dismissed from the service on account of mis-conduct of illegal gratification. According to the respondents, the petitioner took Rs. 20/- from Mawasi, Rs. 25/- from Bhojya, Rs. 15/- from Sundara and Rs. 10/- from Kishna, in total Rs. 70/- in presence of one Pannalal. Neither Pannalal nor these persons have been examined in the departmental enquiry. If that be the position, in my opinion, even if some person, namely Gumani, on the basis of hearsay evidence had said that the petitioner has taken Rs. 70/- from some persons, would not suffice. As the material witnesses whose evidence would go to the root of the matter have not been examined, in my opinion, the charge has not at all been proved and the finding recorded by the enquiry officer is perverse and ...
