JUDGMENT 1. - Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The petitioner was working as Asstt. Commercial Taxes Officer (Flying Squad), Makarana and one other officer Shri RD Singh was also holding the post of Asstt. Commercial Taxes Officer in Makarana itself. The petitioner's office was inspected and then because of the delinquency, the petitioner was served with the charge-sheet under Rule 17 of the CCA Rules, 1958. Shri RD Singh was also served with the same charge-sheet with difference only of absence from duty of a different date. Rest of the charges are verbatim the same. The petitioner submitted reply to the charges, copy of which has been placed on record as Annex.2. The disciplinary authority rejected the petitioner's contention by saying that petitioner did not produce any evidence and observed that from the record, the guilt of the petitioner has been proved. The exact verbatim same order was passed for Shri RD Singh by the disciplinary authority. The petitioner being aggrieved against the order of the disciplinary authority dated 10th April, 2006 imposing penalty of censure preferred appeal before the State Government, which was dismissed by the Government with observation that the petitioner has not raised any new ground and the grounds which have been raised are not substantial. 3. The said RD Singh who was punished by the disciplinary authority by verbatim same order as has been passed in the case of petitioner by the disciplinary authority when preferred the appeal before the State Government, that appeal was allowed and said RD Singh has been exonerated from the charge. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has shown the order of the disciplinary authority passed in the case of Shri RD Singh and also placed on record the copy of the order dated 8.8.2003 passed by the State Government on RD Singh's appeal as Annex.6 alongwith the rejoinder. It will be worthwhile to mention here that even in the reply to the writ petition the State also admitted that when the petitioner and RD Singh were working at Makarana Circle on the posts concerned, an inspection was carried out by the Commercial Taxes Officer and he found irregularities and, therefore, separate charge-sheet was served upon Shri RD Singh also. 5. 5. Learned counsel for the respondent vehemently submitted that this Curt is not the court of appeal against the order passed by the disciplinary authority and question is that whether fair chance is given to the petitioner before passing the order against the petitioner or not. It is also submitted that the petitioner could have preferred the review against the impugned order, which he has not preferred and, therefore, the writ petition deserves to be dismissed. 6. I considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties and perused the facts of the case. 7. After going through the charge-sheet served upon the petitioner and Shri RD Singh in consequence of the inspection conducted on the same date for the same post, for the same delinquency in relation to the same documents, once the said RD Singh has been exonerate, the petitioner cannot and could not have been given different treatment. At the cost of repetition, it may be mentioned that the allegations were with respect to maintaining of the departmental cash book, register etc, which are same for which Shri RD Singh has not been found guilty, who was also working on the same post at the same place where the petitioner was working. Even otherwise also, the order impugned passed by the disciplinary authority and the appellate authority that the order has been passed mechanically and the orders are non-speaking orders. 8. In view of the above reasons, the writ petition of the petitioner is allowed. The orders passed by the appellate authority dated 19.9.2007 and disciplinary authority dated 10.4.2006 are set aside.Writ Petition Allowed. *******
