CIVIL WRIT JURISDICTION CASE No.3460 of 1999 In the matter of an application under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. --------- RAMJI SINGH -------------------------------------- Petitioner Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS -------------- Respondents ----- For the petitioner: M/S. Dr. Krishnandan Singh and Ashok Singh. For the respondents: M/S. Sandeep Kumar and Banwari Sharma. P R E S E N T THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI ------ Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J. This writ application challenging the order of punishment came to be filed before this Court on 9.4.1999. It was admitted along with some other writ applications for hearing on 14.1.2000 and finally taken up for hearing only now. But at the very outset objection is taken that there is no occasion for this Court to render its opinion on the order of punishment which has come to be passed against the petitioner which is contained in Annexure-7 and is dated 15.7.1991. This objection has been taken on the ground that the petitioner at the relevant time was holding the post of UDC at Gauhati branch of the respondents who are National Co-operative Consumers Federation of India Ltd. For the set of charges enquiry was held in Gauhati and order of punishment was passed by the Managing Director at Delhi. In this view of the matter no cause of action has arisen in so far as Patna High Court is concerned. This writ application is being dismissed on this ground alone - 2 - without expressing any opinion on the merit of the claim of the petitioner. If the petitioner is still keen and aggrieved then he may explore the option of moving the concerned court where the cause of action has arisen.
