Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:3001 Court No. - 6 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 510 of 2025 Petitioner :- Raghvendra Singh Pno-112510611 Respondent :- State Of Up. Thru. Addl.C Hief Secy. Home Deptt. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Ram Charitra Pandey,Shashank Pandey Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Alok Mathur,J. 1. Heard Sri Ram Charitra Pandey, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Standing counsel on behalf of the respondents. 2. By means of the present writ petition the petitioner has challenged the show cause notice issued by Superintendent of Police (Establishment), Lucknow to the petitioner after conclusion of inquiry proceedings. 3. Learned Standing counsel has raised a preliminary objection that the petitioner has efficacious remedy of responding to the said notice and it is only after considering of his reply that the disciplinary authority will proceed further in the matter. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner does not dispute that no effect or consequence results from issuance of the show cause notice and he has adequate opportunity of submitting his response to the same but submits that the respondents have already made their mind to punish the petitioner without considering his response and consequently prays that this Court may interfere in the matter and set aside the show cause notice. He has further submitted that even on merits of the case the disciplinary proceedings ought to have been dropped but the respondents have illegally issued the said show cause notice. 5. Considering the rival contentions, this Court is of the considered opinion that the show cause notice does not entail any adverse consequence in as much as the petitioner would have sufficient opportunity to submit his response to the said show cause notice and it is only after considering the reply of the petitioner that further proceedings would be held and order passed by the competent authority. 6. In light of the above, we do not find it a fit case for interference considering that the petitioner would have equally efficacious remedy of replying to the said show cause notice to the competent authority. 7. In light of the above, no interference is called for during pendency of the disciplinary proceedings in exercise of extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 8. For the reasons aforesaid, the petition is bereft of merits and is accordingly dismissed. (Alok Mathur, J.) Order Date :- 17.1.2025 RKM.
