The petitioner has filed the present petition, inter alia, praying that directions be issued to the respondents to take appropriate action against Ms Meena Gill, who was working as Office Superintendent in Statistical Branch, Northern Railway, State Entry Road, New Delhi.

It is also pointed out that Northern Railways has already instituted an inquiry in respect of some of the allegations raised by the petitioner. 3.

In this view, the present petition is disposed of by directing the respondents to complete the inquiry as expeditiously as possible, if not, already done and take such steps as warranted in accordance with law. No other directions are warranted.

The petition is disposed of. The pending application is also disposed of.
