IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (S/S) No. 578 of 2011 Ashaw Kumar Singh ….Petitioner. Versus State of Uttarakhand and others …Respondents. Present : Mr. Sanjay Bhatt, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. (Oral) Heard Mr. Sanjay Bhatt, Advocate for the petitioner and Mr. N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. The petitioner is a Cashier in a cooperative society, namely, “Kelakhera Kisan Sewa Sahkari Samiti Ltd., Kelakhera, District Udham Singh Nagar”. He was charged for embezzlement and thereafter a proposal was taken by the Committee to dispense with the services of the petitioner. On 8.2.2011 a show cause notice was given to the petitioner as to why his services may not be terminated, as such a decision has been taken by the Committee. Hence the petitioner has filed this writ petition. In the counter affidavit, respondent no. 3 has stated that much water has flown since the order dated 8.2.2011 was passed. Moreover, the petitioner has accepted vide letter dated 20.7.2010 (annexure no. 2 to the counter affidavit filed by respondent no. 3) that he has actually embezzled an amount and deposited the same. According to the respondents, therefore, there is an admission on the part of the petitioner regarding the embezzlement. Moreover, at the present juncture a resolution has been passed by the Committee on 23.6.2011 annexing the entire inquiry proceedings and the report against the petitioner for taking approval for terminating the services of the petitioner from the appropriate authority. The approval is still being awaited. 2 The writ petition is therefore absolutely premature. No interference is therefore called for. Writ petition is hence liable to be dismissed as such and is hereby dismissed. Interim order, if any, stands vacated. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 29.8.2011 Avneet
