Dharmendra Goyal v. Chairman, DPSG Society & Anr.

1. The present Appeals are listed on an Office Note.

2. By way of Office Note, it is pointed out that some inadvertent typographical errors have crept in the Judgment and Order dated 25.04.2026 (“Order”) to the extent that in Paragraph Nos. 2 and 4.[5] of the Order, the Writ Petition numbers have been mentioned as W.P.(C) No.5227/2017 and W.P.(C) No.5773/2017 instead of W.P.(C) No.5727/2017 and W.P.(C) No.5733/2017.

3. We have perused the Order and in view of the Office Note, Paragraph Nos. 2 and 4.[5] of the Order shall read as under: “2. The present Appeals are filed against the common order dated 03.10.2024 (“Impugned Order”) passed in W.P.(C) 5727/2017 and W.P.(C) 5733/2017 (“Writ Petitions”) filed by the Appellants seeking the following reliefs: W.P.(C) 5727/2017 “(a) Pass a writ, order or direction in the nature of declaration declaring the action of the Respondent No.1 in terminating the services of the Petitioner was arbitrary and against the principles of natural justice since no Inquiry was held to come to such a conclusion; (b) Pass a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari declaring the Show Cause Notice dated 19/05/2017 as illegal and consequently quashing the same; (a) Pass a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the Respondents to disburse all the consequential dues of the Petitioner due to his illegal termination including his terminal dues like leave encashment. Gratuity etc.;” W.P.(C) 5733/2017 “(a) Pass a writ, order or direction in the nature of declaration declaring the action of the Respondent No. 1 in terminating the services of the Petitioner was arbitrary and against the principles of natural justice since no Inquiry was held to come to such a conclusion and the Petitioner had withdrawn his forced resignation dated 9th May 2017 on the same day itself; (b) Pass a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the Respondents to re-instate the Petitioner OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE

(c) disburse all the dues of the Petitioner including all consequential benefits due to him for his illegal termination and his other terminal dues like leave encashment. Gratuity etc. be released;” *** *** ***

4.5. As the dues of the Appellant was not paid by Respondent No. 1, the Appellant preferred the writ petition being W.P.(C) 5727/2017 declaring the action of Respondent No. 1 terminating the service of the Appellant as arbitrary and against the principles of natural justice since no enquiry was held to come to such a conclusion. The Appellant further sought declaration that the show cause notice was illegal and direction to Respondent No. 1 to disburse all the consequential dues of the Appellant due to his illegal termination including his terminal dues like leave encashment, gratuity, etc.”

4. No further orders are required to be passed.

5. Let this order be uploaded as a Corrigendum to Judgment and Order dated 25.04.2026.
