This Writ Petition is filed challenging the Charge Memo dated 24.07.2015.
2.The contention of the petitioner is that on the same set of allegations earlier, a charge memo was issued by the fourth respondent on 26.02.2015. A reading of the charge memo, dated 24.07.2015, which is impugned in the present Writ Petition, shows that the charge is amended and the present charge memo is in continuation of the charge memo which was previously given to the petitioner.
3.Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents.
4.Since the previous charge memo is substituted by the modified / amended charge memo, which is impugned in the present Writ Petition, the same cannot be treated as a second Charge Memo on the same cause of action, as contented by the learned counsel for the petitioner. There is no substance or merit in the Writ Petition and the same is liable to be dismissed.
5.In the result, this Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. However, it is open to the petitioner to submit his explanation and defend the departmental proceedings in the manner known to law. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions No.1 and 2 of 2015 are closed.
