*** VINOD S BHARDWAJ, J. (ORAL) Present petition has been filed for seeking direction to the official respondents to take appropriate legal action against private respondent Nos.6 & 7 and to ensure that appropriate departmental action is taken against the delinquent officials.

Upon notice, reply by way of affidavit dated 23.08.2023 of Rajeev Kumar, HPS, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Central Faridabad has been filed on behalf of respondent Nos.1,3 to 5 wherein it has been averred that proceedings were initiated against the delinquent officials and vide order dated 22.11.2022 passed by the Superintendent of Police, Nuh, punishment of stoppage of two annual increments with permanent effect was awarded against respondent No.6 and suspension period was treated as period not spent on duty for all intents and purposes. Against the order imposing punishment, respondent No.6 filed an appeal, which has also been dismissed by the Additional Director General of Police, South Range, Rewari vide order dated 03.02.2023 (Annexure R.3).

CWP No.23195 of 2021 (O&M) #2# 2023:PHHC:118528 Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that punishment imposed upon the delinquent was not proportionate to the offence committed by him.

Be that as it may, the order imposing punishment to respondent No.6 is not subject matter of challenge before this Court. Therefore, the question of sufficiency and adequacy of the punishment cannot be gone into by this Court in the instant petition.

Conseqently, the present petition is disposed of as having been rendered infructuous.

So far as the prayer made in the present petition is concerned, the petitioner, if so advised, may pursue his alternative legal remedies against the impugned order, as per law.

Disposed of as rendered infructuous.
