ORDERTirath S. Thakur, J.1. In Writ Petition No. 14631/1998, filed by the petitioner, a certiorari quashing the charge sheet issued to him and in the alternative for restraining the respondents from proceeding with the disciplinary enquiry pending disposal of criminal proceedings under investigation with the C.B.I, was prayed for.

The Authority was of the view that there was no justification for keeping in abeyance the disc...
