ORDER The Court is not inclined to give leeway to the petitioner to pursue his appeal as such because no purpose would be served in this regard especially when petitioner who was a government servant was convicted for certain offences and such conviction by the trial court was upheld right up till the Apex Court. Merely because the period of sentence was reduced by the Hon`ble Apex Court, it does not mean that the petitioner stands exonerated of his culpability in crime. 2. The Court can only remind the petitioner not only of the service rule but even the constitutional provision where a convicted employee has no right to continue in service. In fact, exception to Article 311 of the Constitution of India does envisage dispensing with departmental enquiry before passing an order of dismissal, after conviction. 3. Admitted position as indicated above subsists. Therefore, the dismissal of the petitioner is not required to be interfered with nor any direction is required to be given to the extent to consider the appeal, as law is well settled in this regard. 4. Writ application is dismissed.
