Aforementioned affidavit has been filed by the petitioner in the light of order passed on 8.2.2009, which is as under:- “Since the petitioner has made some serious Civil Writ Petition No.16517 of 2008 (O&M) -2- allegations of corruption against the officials, it would be appropriate to direct him to support all those allegations by filing a supporting affidavit. In fact this is so urged by the counsel for respondent Nos.3 & 4 to say that they will not hesitate to comply with any direction for investigation into the case, but the petitioner must support all these allegations with affidavit for which he is seeking investigation and he should substantiate the same by filing affidavit, so that if these are found false, then action can be taken against the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner says that the petitioner would be ready to file an affidavit in support of the allegations, which he has made in the petition. Let the petitioner file an application disclosing all the allegations which he wants to be investigated by independent agency by filing supporting affidavit, so that further action can be taken into the matter.” Since the petitioner has now filed a requisite affidavit, respondent No.2 may be asked to investigate the issues now substantiated by the petitioner by filing an affidavit. The result of the investigation done shall be intimated to the petitioner. In case, the petitioner still feels aggrieved against any action, he would be at liberty to take action in accordance with law. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of.
