BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 9704 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 25th March, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner faces disciplinary action on the basis of Exhibit P1 charge sheet. Petitioner submits that apparently the charge memo was issued only on the basis of registration of a crime by the CBCID against the petitioner and which is pending submission of final report before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Devikulam. Petitioner submits that parallel enquiry by the disciplinary authority is not warranted. There is nothing which prevents disciplinary action being taken against the petitioner, on certain allegations, which may also be involved in the transaction that is referred to in the crime registered by the CBCID. The challenge against Exhibit P1 memo of charges is, therefore, premature and not maintainable. Petitioner submits that a complaint has been lodged by him before the 1st respondent against the 2nd respondent. It is open to the petitioner to pursue the same before the appropriate Forum. Subject to the above, the writ petition is dismissed. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma K.THANKAPPAN,J CRL.A.
