Petitioners, in all these writ applications, have prayed for quashing of the report submitted by Five Men Committee instituted by the Department of Health on the direction of High Court in L.P.A. No. 946 of 2003 & analogous cases. Inquiry report has put the appointment of petitioners either in forged or illegal category. Almost all the petitioners have stated that the Inquiry Committee did not afford any opportunity to them to defend their cases, relevant documents were not considered and in violation of rule of natural justice as well as without following the procedure for termination, petitioners have been terminated from their services on the basis of the Inquiry report. The issue has already been decided by this court in the similar matter in C.W.J.C. No. 6575/09 & analogous cases where the Inquiry Report of Five Men Committee has been quashed. Accordingly, in these writ applications also, the inquiry report relating to these petitioners whereby they have been either put in the category of illegal or forged appointees is quashed. The impugned termination orders issued against the petitioners in their respective cases are also quashed. These writ applications are allowed. The respondents are directed to reinstate the petitioners where they were earlier working, with all consequential benefits. Akv/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
