The Management vs Sri S Manjunath on 4 January, 2021
(emphasis supplied)
In the light of the law laid down by the Apex
court as followed by this Court, the interference of the
Tribunal on the penalty of withholding of one
increment for a period of four years without
cumulative effect and to recover one month salary in
fifteen installments by the Disciplinary Authority, by
invoking its jurisdiction under Section 11A of the said
Act is plainly impermissible. Therefore, the award of
the Tribunal is unsustainable. If the interference of
the Tribunal is not available under Section 11A of the
said Act, in the facts and circumstances of the case,
the examination with regard to, whether the finding of
the Tribunal is justified or otherwise, would not arise.
