It is next submitted that it absolutely defies all logic, wisdom and reasonable administrative behavior that had the petitioner been involved in such type of occurrence then the petitioner would never have accepted the amount credited in his account through UPI from Pallavi Kumari nor would have transferred the same to Paskal Ekka knowing that they are involved in such obnoxious activity. It is also submitted that petitioner is a Supervisor with Tejas Rajdhani Coach.
