The grievance of the Petitioner is that the Respondent No. 4 is interfering with the day-to-day activities of the Petitioner with an intent to remove the Petitioner from the said post. A representation dated 26.07.2025 was also given to that effect. As the representation of the Petitioner was not being considered, the present Writ Petition is filed. 4.

He further submits that the allegations raised by the Petitioner against the Respondent No. 4 have no basis and there is no day-to-day interference into the work of the Petitioner by the Respondent No.4. 5. Having heard the respective counsel, the present Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Petitioner to submit an explanation to the Show Cause Notices dated 02.07.2025 and 17.07.2025 within a period of three (03) weeks from today and the Respondent authorities shall take appropriate decision thereon.
