HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25225 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner is working as a Constable / Driver in the Central Industrial Security Force at Sriharikota, Nellore District. Charges were framed against him, alleging that he was in a drunken condition while on duty and misbehaved with a Sub-Inspector of the Force in the presence of other Force personnel. Petitioner submitted his explanation. The Disciplinary Authority passed an order dated 16-07-2010 imposing punishment of stoppage of one increment with cumulative effect. Petitioner did not prefer any appeal against that order. 2. The Senior Commandant, 1st respondent herein, issued a show cause notice dated 07-09-2010 to the petitioner requiring him to explain as to why the punishment of compulsory retirement from service with full pensionary benefits, be not imposed against him. This was issued in exercise of suo moto review powers conferred under Rule - 54 of the Central Industrial Security Force Rules, 2001 (for short ‘the Rules’). The same is challenged in this writ petition. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the Assistant Solicitor General for the Central Government. 4. The impugned show cause notice is issued in exercise of powers under Rule - 54 of the Rules. The petitioner does not dispute that the 1st respondent has the power to exercise the suo moto review of the orders passed by the 2nd respondent. The petitioner can submit his explanation and he can feel aggrieved, if only, an order adverse to his interest is passed by the 1st respondent. This Court does not find any basis to interfere with the show cause notice. 5. Hence, this Writ Petition is dismissed. Petitioner is granted two (2) weeks time from today to file his explanation. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J October 06, 2010. NOTE: Issue CC in three (3) days. B/O. KTL
