MR.ARAVIND KUMAR BABU, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.22324 of 2010 (M) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 16th day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T In this writ petition what is under challenge is Exts.P2, P9 & P10, by which disciplinary proceedings were initiated against the petitioner, resulting an enquiry and a report, in which he was found guilty. 2. It appears that on receipt of the report, the disciplinary authority has now issued Ext.P10 show cause notice proposing to impose punishment of termination. It is at that stage, this writ petition has been filed. 3. In my view, until the disciplinary proceedings are finalised by the disciplinary authority, the petitioner is not entitled to challenge the proceedings for the reason that as at present no order prejudicial to him has been passed. Therefore, I close the writ petition as premature leaving open the contentions raised. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
