It is contended that without having any material available against the Petitioner, when the impugned letter was issued under Annexure-8, Government directing the Society to take Disciplinary action against the Petitioner, the present Writ Petition was filed challenging the same. It is further contended that because of the interim order passed by this Court on 02.03.2016, no Disciplinary action has yet been taken. 4.1. It is however contended that since without any reason and basis and without having any material against the Petitioner, such a letter was issued to the society, the same requires interference of this Court. 4.2. Learned counsel appearing for the Society also fairly contended that basing on Annexure-8, no consequential action has yet been taken against the Petitioner as on date. Similar submission was also made by Mr.J.K. Khuntia, learned counsel appearing for Opp. party No.4. 5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the submission made, this Court while disposing the Writ Petition permits the Petitioner to move an appropriate application before Opp. Party No.3 seeking recalling of the direction contained in letter dt.15.04.2015 under Annexure-8. 5.1. It is observed that if such an application is filed within the aforesaid time period, Opp. Party No. 3 shall do well to take a lawful decision on the same within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of such application.
