THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (S/S) No. 591 of 2010 Atma Ram S/O Late Shri Asha Ram, R/O 88/1 D.L.Road, Police Station Dalanwala, Dehradun … Petitioner. Vs. Regional Provident Fund Commissioner-I, Regional Office Dehradun, Uttarakhand. …Respondent. Mrs. Prabha Naithani, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. P.S.Uniyal, Advocate, holding brief of Mr. D.S.Patni, Advocate learned counsel for the respondent. Date July 27, 2010. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the show cause notice dated 30-6-2010 passed by respondent. The petitioner has also sought a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondent to take petitioner back into service till the decision of Criminal Appeal No. 79 of 2010 pending before the High Court. The petitioner appears to be involved in an anti corruption CBI Case No. 4 of 2003, C.B.I. Vs. Atma Ram, under Section 7/13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act and was released on bail vide order dated 21-4-2010. The suspension order of the petitioner was also revoked after he had been released on bail. In the trial, the petitioner was ultimately convicted under Section 7/13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act and he has been sentenced to undergo imprisonment and to pay fine as mentioned in the order dated 21-4-2010. The respondent by the impugned order dated 30-6-2010 has issued a show cause notice under Rule 15 of the Employees Provident Fund (CCA) Rules to the petitioner as to why the petitioner may not be dismissed from service. The petitioner has been called 2 upon to submit his explanation within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of show cause notice. The impugned order is only a show cause notice. The petitioner has every opportunity to put forth his explanation or to file objection against the show cause notice. No prejudice has been caused to the petitioner by the impugned show cause notice. I do not find any reason to interfere with the show cause notice issued against the petitioner in the writ jurisdiction. The petitioner may file objection against the impugned show cause notice. I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition, which is devoid of any merit and liable to be dismissed at the threshold. The writ petition is dismissed in limine. (B.S.Verma,J.) RCP
