By consent, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage. 3. The present writ petition is filed challenging the charge memo issued by the first respondent, dated 03.08.2006. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner contented that the charge against the petitioner is liable to be quashed on various grounds. 5. However, I am unable to accept the said contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner. The charge levelled against the petitioner has to be considered by the enquiry officer and he has to file a report. Thereafter, after causing a show cause notice to the petitioner, a final order has to be passed. At this stage, I am not inclined to go into the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 charges against the petitioner. That apart, the charge memo is dated 03.08.2006 and the present writ petition is filed after 4 1/2 years. 6. In view of the above stated position, I direct the authority concerned to commence the disciplinary proceedings and pass final orders, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order, after giving due opportunity to the petitioner.
