Present petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging the order dated 02.09.2024 passed by the DRT. 3. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that no hearing was done and the order came to be passed. He draws my attention to the similar orders passed by this Court wherein this Court had noticed the prima-facie misconduct of the officer of the DRT and also directed the CBI to proceed with the matter. The said order is a series of orders passed by the then DRT which are prima-facie suspicious and do not inspire confidence. 4.
