JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) Heard learned counsel for the review petitioner, learned counsel for the opposite party and perused the material available on record.
(2.) The instant review petition has been filed under Chapter V, Rule 12 of the Allahabad High Court Rules for reviewing the judgment and order dated 13.2.2012 passed in Writ Petition No. 27 (SB) of 2005 (Alok Saini Vs. Remote Sensing Application Centre and another). In the aforesaid writ petition, challenge of the review petitioner was his suspension order. While disposing of the aforesaid writ petition, this Court passed the following orders:-
"It is pertinent to mention that in exercise of the powers conferred upon the State Government under Rule 23 (1) of Rules of Association of the Centre, the State Government had conferred upon the Secretary, Science & Technology, the administrative, financial and legal powers of the Director of the Centre. Moreover, from the record, it also comes out that the action taken by the Secretary, has been rectified by the Governing Body. Thus, the assertion of the petitioner that the impugned order is without jurisdiction and non est, is not acceptable.
In view of the above, we do not find any illegality or infirmity in the impugned order of suspension. The writ petition is dismissed accordingly. However, it will be open to the opposite parties to pass appropriate order of punishment as the enquiry has already been concluded."
