No.8797 of 2009. The main grievance of the petitioner in the writ petition was with regard to order of his dismissal from service issued by the respondents authority without complying the provisions as contained in Rule 25 of the C.I.S.F. Rules, 2001. Even though, statement has been made in the counter affidavit that notices were served upon the appellant but he has refused to accept, there is no material available to show that the appellant refused to accept the notice. 2 A rejoinder to the counter affidavit has also been filed by the appellant, wherein it has been stated that no postal receipt of the notice is produced before the Court. Under the above circumstances, we are of the opinion that the matter may be remanded back to the respondent authorities to comply with the provisions of Rule 25 of the C.I.S.F. Rules 2001 by issuing a fresh notice to the appellant-herein on the ground as has been alleged in the termination order and on receipt of notice the appellant must file his reply within four weeks from the date of receipt of such notice and the competent authority must take appropriate decision on the explanation given by the appellant as expeditiously as possible in accordance with law. With the above observations, the order of learned Single is set aside to the above extent and the appeal is allowed. Ashwini (T.Meena Kumari,J.) (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
