report was submitted by the Enquiry Officer before the Secretary, Village Development Department, Lucknow. The petitioner by a communication dated 25.4.2019, was served with the enquiry report with a further direction that he may submit his reply. The petitioner submitted his reply on 30.4.2019 and thereafter by an order dated 2.7.2020, the order of punishment was passed by which 10% of the pension amount payable to the petitioner was permanently deducted from his pension. Aggrieved by the order, the petitioner had represented on 10.8.2020 and when the representation was not being decided, he had filed a writ petition being Writ-A No.13380 of 2021. However, he had got this writ petition dismissed as withdrawn on 4.10.2021. When the instant writ petition thereafter was filed, this Court had dismissed the writ petition on 16.11.2021 saying that when for the same cause of action, an earlier writ petition being Writ-A No.13380 of 2021 had been filed, this writ petition was barred by the principles of constructive res-judicata. However, the Special Appellate Court on 14.2.2022 in Special Appeal No.426 of 2021 set-aside the order dated 16.11.2021 and, therefore, this writ petition has been placed before me for a fresh consideration.
