Ja ^' ~;;st^s^sy \4b ^'/ The appellanVpetitioner has filed this appeal against the order dated 3rd December,2009 passed in Writ Petition (S) No.7085/2009 by the learned Single Judge of this Court. By filing the said writ petition, the appellant had prayed for quashing the departmental enquiry initiated against him. The prayer was made on the ground that the appellant had not been supplied the documents which he had sought for and that he was being harassed by the respondents by holding the enquiry at different places. Learned Single Judge observed that the proceedings of the departmental enquiry cannot be quashed on such grounds and uJtimately the writ petition was dismissed. Admittedly, the appelianVpetitioner has not challenged the proceedings of the departmental enquiry either on the ground of authority or jurisdiction or on the ground that the enquiry itself was mala fide or it was against any statutory rules, Act orprocedure. In the facts and circumstances, when the enquiry was not challenged on the ground of jurisdiction or on any such ground which prohibits the proceedings of the departmental enquiry, the same cannot be quashed at the preliminary stage on the grounds casually set forth by the petitioner jn the writ petition. We do not find any illegality or infirmity in the impugned order passed by the learned Single Judge. The appeal has no merit, the same is liable to be dismissed and is hereby dismissed at the admission stage itself. Sd/- Sunil Kumar Sinha Judge Sd/- Prashant Kumar Mishra Judge r W{
