ORDER

The present writ petition has been filed to direct 1st respondent to take appropriate departmental action against respondents 2 to 4 for their corrupt practices, looting and misappropriation of Government funds while serving in the Nilgiris District Tuberculosis centre, by considering the petitioner's representation dated 25.7.2025.

3. At this juncture, the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the 1st respondent would fairly submit that the representation of the petitioner was received only on 29.07.2025 and that the present writ petition is premature, as the petitioner has approached this Court even before action could be taken on the representation.
