: Ms.G.ROHINI, CHIEF JUSTICE
1. This appeal is preferred against the order of the learned Single Judge dated 21.09.2011 in W.P.(C) No. 6971/2005. The respondent No.4 in the writ petition is the appellant before us. The writ petitioner is arrayed as the sole respondent and the other respondents in the writ petition are not made parties to the appeal. For the sake of convenience, the appellant and the respondent herein shall hereinafter be referred to as they were arrayed in the writ petition, i.e. the respondent No.4/Delhi Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (for short „DSPCA‟) and the writ petitioner respectively.
2. The writ petition was filed with a prayer to quash the order dated 24.12.2004 passed by the respondent No.4/appellant herein imposing the penalty of compulsory retirement from service with immediate effect against the writ petitioner. The learned Single Judge allowed the writ petition with costs and set aside the impugned order dated 24.12.2004. Consequently, reinstatement of the writ petitioner in service with all consequential benefits was ordered. Hence, this appeal.
