Heard Mr. Sajithkumar, learned counsel for the applicant.

Applicant is aggrieved by Annexure A-1 and A-2 orders directing him to credit Rs. 3,47,585.48/-towards the “adjustment of loss” to the department. The applicant states that as per Annexure A-2, the implication is that the applicant while working as ASP Headquarters, Tirur Division failed to supervise the work of the then existing fraud cases against which recovery of loss sustained from the concerned subsidiary offenders and the same is till unsettled. According to Annexure A-2 communication, had the applicant taken effective action as per the directions the loss could have been recovered from the sub-offenders before their retirement.

According to the learned counsel for the applicant, the applicant was working as a subordinate official in the post of ASP (Headquarters) and he had no power to deal with the fraud case except forwarding the papers to the higher authorities. Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the applicant has been implicated in this matter for the alleged supervisory lapses.

Mr. N. Anilkumar, Senior PCGC takes notice on behalf of the respondents.

After hearing the learned counsel for the applicant and on perusal of the documents it appears that there is prima facie a case for the applicant. Irrepairable injury is likely to occur. In the circumstance, this Tribunal is inclined to grant an interim order staying the operation of Annexure A-1 and A-2 till the next posting date. Ordered accordingly.
