Anil Kumar R., learned counsel appearing for the petitioner; Sri. N. Khetty, leaned counsel appearing for the respondent No.1; Smt. Rathna Shivayogimath, learned - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41347 WP NO.56153 OF 2017 counsel appearing for the respondent No.2; Sri. S.B. Totad, learned counsel appearing for the respondent No.3; and Sri. Mahantesh Shettar, learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for the respondent No.4. 3. Having taken note of the submission made by learned counsel appearing for the parties, I have perused the averments made in the impugned order dated 01st December, 2017 (Annexure-A), the same would indicate that the respondent No.1 resolved to seeking explanation from the petitioner for his appearance before the respondent No.4- Institution as he had purportedly appeared for M.C.I. inspection in the respondent No.3-Institution. It is not in dispute that the petitioner was working in the Government Medical College and as the service of the petitioner has been made in the Government College, I am of the view that, no useful purpose would be served to go into the merits of the case at this juncture. Perusal of the writ petition would also indicate that the petitioner was working in the Government College and serving the Society for more than seven years without any complaint/stigma. In that view of the matter, the petition - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41347 WP NO.56153 OF 2017 deserves to be allowed. Accordingly, writ petition is allowed. Order dated 01st December, 2017 (Annexure-A) passed by the respondent No.1 is hereby set-aside. Sd/- (E.S. INDIRESH) JUDGE ARK List No.: 1 Sl No.: 33
