Notice. Mr. Bhdardwaj accepts notice.

Mr. Bhardwaj submits that the stage of filing written statement was lost in the year 2012 when the inquiry officer was appointed. In our view, we find no reason for any rectification in the order dated 08.10.2015 which has been passed. It is up to the petitioner to file the written statement of defence if the law so permits and if so advised. The application stands disposed of.
