The petitioner further contends that he was not allowed to submit his explanation and he was not furnished the copies of the documents, which were relied on by the 1st respondent- corporation during the course of enquiry. Therefore, the petitioner approached this Court seeking a direction to the 1st respondent-corporation to furnish copies of the documents relied on by the respondent in the enquiry and to receive his explanation. The petitioner filed this Writ Petition on 06-07-2004. Subsequently, the respondent passed an order dated 20-07-2004 removing the petitioner from service. The Writ Petition, therefore, became infructuous and the same is dismissed accordingly. The petitioner, if desires, may seek proper remedy in the appropriate forum against the said order of removal passed by the respondent. __________________________ ( Dr. G.
