Dave, Chief Justice) The only apprehension raised in this is petition is that because of the direction given by the Hon’ble Lok Ayuktha, Collector, Nellore may not be in a position to make enquiry independently. In our opinion, the apprehension is misconceived for the reason that the Collector is bound to make an independent and impartial enquiry and simply because the Hon’ble Lok Ayuktha has passed an order that an enquiry be made, that would not mean that the Collector would try to see that the petitioner is held guilty. We are sure that the Collector will decide the matter in accordance with law after considering the facts of the case. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed with no order as to costs. ANIL R.
