0712wp4898.09.odt 1/1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 4898 OF 2009 (VINOD ANANDRAO PARATE VS. DIRECTOR MARKETING/EXECUTIVE, LPG, MUMBAI AND 4 OTHERS) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's orders Mr. A. P. Raghute, Advocate for the petitioner. CORAM: D. D. SINHA & F. M. REIS, JJ. DATED : 07th DECEMBER, 2009. Heard. In the instant petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that he has not received the charge-sheet, no steps were taken by the department for a long time and that the appellate authority has not decided the appeal filed by the petitioner against the order of his suspension. It is not in dispute that the department has now issued the charge-sheet to the petitioner. In view of that, the contention canvassed by the petitioner, in our view, at this stage loses its efficacy, particularly in view of issuance of charge-sheet, since it is always open for the petitioner to put-forth his defence during the course of departmental enquiry. In that view of the matter, the petition suffers from lack of merit. Hence, the same is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE wwl
