ORDERK. Raviraja Pandian, J. 1. This Writ Appeal has been filed against the order of the learned Single Judge, dated 21.2.1997, made in writ petition No. 11643 of 1996, setting aside the order of dismissal passed against the respondent herein on the solitary ground that the report of the Enquiry Officer was furnished to the respondent along with the show cause notice and before taking a decision with regard to punishment no opportunity was given to the writ petitioner.
