censure against the petitioner which order has already been assailed by him by way of a departmental appeal, which is still pending consideration.

3. In the light of the aforesaid, we are of the considered opinion that the present petition is no longer maintainable and the petitioner should take all the grounds raised in the present petition in his challenge to the censure order.

4. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition is rendered infructuous and is accordingly, disposed of by granting liberty to the petitioner to raise all grounds pertaining to the purported illegality in the issuance of the charge memorandum in his challenge to the penalty order.
