enquiry. Challenging the same, the present Writ Petition is filed. In view of the nature of the allegations, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the pending enquiry or comment on the merits of the case at this stage.

Since the enquiry is pending before the third respondent, the third respondent shall conduct the enquiry in accordance with law by giving due opportunity to the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of thirty days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
