Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.VASUDEVA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 and 2: MR.S.RAVINDRANATH The Court at the stage of admission made the following ORDER: Questioning the show cause notices dated 13-05-2004 and also 20- 06-2004 issued by the second respondent, the petitioner preferred the present writ petition. The allegation against the petitioner is that by impersonation, he got a job in the department, for which, a departmental enquiry was conducted and witnesses were examined. Basing on the enquiry report, impugned show cause notices were issued to the petitioner. Normally, this Court will not interfere with the impugned show cause notices unless the person who issued the show cause notices has no jurisdiction at all. Admittedly, in this case, the person who issued the impugned show cause notices is having jurisdiction and he is the Disciplinary Authority. So, it is for the Disciplinary Authority to take appropriate decision basing on the admissible evidence available on record and pass appropriate orders. Therefore, there are no grounds to interfere with the impugned show cause notices. However, the respondents are directed to take appropriate decision basing on the material available on record and pass appropriate orders. However, this order will not preclude the petitioner to raise any other ground as per the procedure. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. In the circumstances, no costs. 9th JULY, 2004. Note: furnish copy in two days. B/o kvni To 1 The Superintending Engineer,A.P.
