Writ Court, vide order, dated 27.08.2010 made in W.P.No.40460 of 2006, set aside the penalty. Thereafter, the respondent has retired on voluntary retirement.
2. Both the learned counsel appearing for the parties are not in a position to state, as to whether, penalty, dated 31.01.2000, has been implemented or not. Record of proceedings shows that there is no stay of the operation of the order passed by the writ Court, in this writ appeal.
