CORAM : D.D.SINHA & A.P.BHANGALE, JJ DATED : 19th January, 2011. Heard Mr. M M Sudame, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. Bharati Dangre, learned Addl. Government Pleader for respondents. This Writ Petition is directed against the impugned communication dated 7.10.2010 issued by the Joint Secretary, Tribal Development Department and is addressed to the Addl. Commissioner, Tribal Development Department, Nasik, whereby the Tribal Development Commissioner is asked to initiate enquiry in respect of the Ashram Shalas fall within its jurisdiction on the grounds mentioned in paragraph no.3 of the said communication. The counsel for the petitioners apprehends that without completing enquiry and without coming to the positive conclusion one way or other, there is likelihood of registering criminal offence/s against the petitioner as well as taking other action against the members of the petitioner-society, without 2 following the principles of natural justice. The learned Addl. Govt. Pleader has submitted that by the impugned communication, the Commissioner, Tribal Development only asked to initiate enquiry on the grounds mentioned in paragraph 3 of the said communication and, if necessary, appropriate action against the petitioner may be taken in conformity with the law and procedure applicable in this regard. In view of the statement made by the learned Addl. Govt. Pleader, the apprehension entertained by the petitioner, in our view, is misconceived at this stage. Therefore, no indulgence can be shown in the present Writ Petition. The same is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE sahare
