Despite exhausting all domestic legal remedies, including repeated representations to the Hon’ble President of India, the Chief Justice of the Supreme 3 Court and High Court, and the Ministries concerned, no action has been taken except direction was issued by the President's Secretariat of the Hon’ble President of India, and the perpetrators continue to enjoy impunity. He submits that till today no information has been communicated to him. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel for DSGI opposes the reliefs sought by the petitioner-in-person and submits that the present writ petition is baseless and has no such ground upon which it should be entertained. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the respective parties, perused the document available with utmost circumspection. 5. Bare perusal of the present petition as well as the record available, it reveals that the petitioner belongs to Scheduled Castes community and was a former Chief Office Superintendent in the South East Central Railway (SECR), Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. However, he was dismissed from the service. Being aggrieved of that, he has submitted detailed representations, complaints, and legal petitions before the Hon’ble President of India, the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s Office , the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India, the Hon’ble Chief Justice of the High Court of Chhattisgarh, the Ministry of Railways and other authorities. 6. Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case and the submission made by the learned counsel for the respective parties this Court is of the considered view that the relief sought by the petitioner by way of this petition is baseless and has nothing to be 4 entertained, petitioner has only drafted a vague and sketchy prayer and the same is a defective one. 7. Accordingly, the present petition is dismissed subject to deposition a sum of Rs. 5,000/- as cost by the petitioner in the Registry of this Court within a period of one week from today, and the same shall be transmitted to the Governemtn School for Visual and Hearing Impaired, Tifra, District-Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh.
