stoppage of increment for three years with cumulative effect. Subsequent to the passing of the punishment order by the Disciplinary Authority (second respondent), the executant of the document has paid the deficit stamp duty to the respondents on 14.09.2016. The said fact is also not disputed by the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents on instructions. The petitioner has also referred the document, which was presented for registration, to the Collector under Section 47-A of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, on account of deficit stamp duty. She has followed the procedure as contemplated under Section 47-A of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. She has also obtained an endorsement from the executant of the document, while returning the original document that incase it is found that there is a building on the land, for which the executant is liable to pay additional stamp duty, the executant shall pay the additional stamp duty to the respondents. Admittedly, there is no revenue loss caused to the respondents on account of the admitted fact that subsequent to the passing of the punishment order by the Disciplinary Authority, the executant of the document has paid the deficit stamp duty. The petitioner has also alleged in this writ petition that she was not afforded with the personal hearing before passing of the punishment order by the Appellate Authority (first respondent).
