1. The challenge in the present Letters Patent Appeal is to an order dated 3rd July, 2014, passed in C.W.J.C. No. 7631 of 2013 by the learned single Judge whereby the order of punishment, dated 09.05.2005 (Annexure-16) and the order, dated 19.10.2012 (Annexure “C”) was quashed and the appellants herein were directed to settle the claim of the writ petitioner as if any liability does not stand against him.

2. The said orders came to be passed after a long drawn litigation. The writ applicant was appointed as Sales Man-cum-Account Assistant in the year 1974. He was later promoted to the post of Assistant Depot Manager.

An order of dismissal was passed by the Administrator on 11.04.1989 on account of allegation of misappropriation of fertilizers, seeds and medicine worth Rs.2,71,925.94/- after the enquiry officer found the writ applicant guilty.

3. A writ, being C.W.J.C. No. 5957 of 1991 filed before this Court against the order of dismissal which was accepted
