Petitioners have approached this High Court against annexure-1 which is a show cause. No cogent reason has been given for not responding to the show cause first before the authority offering their explanations for them to consider instead of rushing of the High Court in the first option. This writ application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to first file their show cause before the concerned authority who shall be obliged to respond and decide the show cause within a period of three months from the date of filing of their show cause. If the decision is contrary to the interest of the petitioners they will have liberty to take recourse against that order before an appropriate forum. In view of the earlier interim order passed by this Court, the petitioners would be allowed to continue till the final order is passed by the concerned authority on the show cause of - 2 - the petitioners. This writ application is disposed of with the above liberty/direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
