According to the contents of the aforementioned letter there are allegations against the petitioner concerning embezzlement from grant of repair of dispensary, yearly lease money of Panchayat and number of other such charges. The petitioner was summoned for 19.1.2008 and he had appeared. We do not see any reason to stop the inquiry merely because instructions of the Government require the complaint to be supported by an affidavit. C.W.P. No. 1213 of 2008 Those instructions are for the internal working of the department and do not constitute any mandatory provision. There is no merit in the petition. Dismissed. (M.M.
