By this Petition, the Petitioner is challenging the order dated 22.10.2003 passed by the learned Central Administrative Tribunal. The Central Administrative Tribunal has given a clear finding that the Respondent was removed from services. The Central Administrative Tribunal has also observed that the principles of natural justice were not observed properly in the sense, the Respondent was not given a fair opportunity of hearing. Under those circumstances Respondent was directed to be reinstated with all the consequential benefits without any interest. Petitioner was also given liberty to initiate fresh enquiry proceedings against the Respondent. 2. The learned Counsel for the Petitioner states that subsequently the Respondent has been reinstated by the Petitioner and 50% back-wages have also been paid pursuant to the order of this Court dated 6.1.2004. The learned Counsel for the petitioner states that the Petitioner has already initiated fresh enquiry proceedings against the Respondent and that the said enquiry proceedings will be completed within a period of six months from today.
