2014 (11) TMI 997 - MADRAS HIGH COURTDismissal of complaint under Section 203 Cr.P.C - Held that:- In the facts and circumstances of the case that the respondents had been dragging the matter for quite a long period thus causing prejudice to the applicant, the charge memo dated 12-2-2004 is vague, without any evidence and above all unexplained and inordinate delay has occurred in the disciplinary proceedings against the applicant and accordingly the punishment imposed vide impugned order is discriminatory, violative of natural principles of law and disproportionate to the charges levelled against the applicant. Accordingly we quash and set aside the same. In the result, O.A. No. 1354 of 2011 is allowed and the respondents are directed to pay the arrears due to the applicant within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As rightly submitted by the learned Additional Solicitor General, each and every act of arbitrariness cannot be termed to be illegal. There must be a link which indicates that the act of arbitrariness was owing to any criminal intent on the part of the persons accused. Finding no merit in the revision, this criminal revision case stands dismissed.
