M/S Goa Shipyard Ltd vs Babu Thomas on 30 May, 2007
When the
disciplinary authority i.e. the Chief Executive Officer of the
respondent no.1 passed the order of penalty by impugned
order dated 30.03.2015, under the Maharashtra Zilla Parishad
District Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1964, the
petitioner could file appeal only before the respondent no.2

available to the petitioner was vitiated. It could not be said to

be cured because there was no further right of appeal available
to the petitioner. As a result, in the facts of the present case,
the judgments relied upon by the learned counsel for the
respondent no.1 in the cases of Chairman, A.P. State
Electricity Board .vs. M. Kurmi Naidu (supra ) and Goa
Shipyard Ltd. .vs. Babu Thomas (supra), would not be
applicable.
