Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:131756 Court No. - 4 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 11022 of 2025 Petitioner :- Shri Devesh Kumar Respondent :- Union Of India And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Kapil Dav,Parmeshwar Yadav,Uttam Kumar Counsel for Respondent :- A.S.G.I. Hon'ble Ajit Kumar,J. Heard Sri Uttam Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Kailash Prakash Pathak, learned counsel for the respondents. By means of this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution, petitioner has prayed for a writ of mandamus to command the respondent No.- 3 to permit petitioner to discharge duties on the post of Technical Mate. Per contra, it is argued by Sri Pathak, learned counsel for the respondent that petitioner has not reported for duty and hence he has been issued with show cause notice on 26th May, 2025 and in reply thereto petitioner was required to submit his reply. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that reply to the show cause notice has been submitted on 19th June, 2025. Having heard learned counsel for the respective parties and having perused the records, in my considered view, once the petitioner has been issued with show cause notice then he should file reply which can, of course, be directed to be decided in accordance with law. Upon perusal of the records, it transpires that such reply to the show cause notice was submitted by the petitioner on 19th June, 2025 by registered post. In the circumstances, I dispose of this petition with a direction to the respondent No.- 3 to dispose of the matter of show cause notice dated 26th May, 2025 considering the reply submitted by the petitioner on 19th June, 2025 strictly in accordance with law and as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of one month from the date of production of certified copy of this order.
