The District Magistrate, Patna. 5. The District Magistrate, Kaimur. ….Respondents-Respondents. ----------- 02. 27.07.2009 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the State and perused the order of the writ court. The facts noted by the writ court are from the records and they show that the appellant/writ petitioner after receiving the show cause notice cum charge-sheet dated 25.10.2004 showed cause before the Inquiry Officer through his communication dated 08.11.2004 but thereafter never appeared before the Inquiry Officer. Hence the Inquiry Officer was compelled to proceed ex parte and he found the charges proved. On that basis, after giving second cause notice the impugned order of dismissal from service was passed by the Competent Authority. - 2 - We find no good reasons to take a different view of the matter, the appeal is dismissed as one without merits.
