ROAD UZANBAZAR GUWAHATI-781001 ASSA Advocate for the Petitioner : MR. S BANIK, MS F BEGUM Advocate for the Respondent : GA, ASSAM, BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUMAN SHYAM ORDER Date : 24/03/2025 Heard Mr. S. Banik, learned counsel for the writ petitioner. Also heard Mr. J.K. Goswami, Page No.# 2/2 learned Additional Senior Government Advocate, Assam, appearing for the official respondents. This writ petition has been filed by the alleged delinquent assailing the Departmental Proceeding initiated against her on the basis of the Memorandum of Charge dated 20/08/2024 by contending that there is no definite charge brought against the petitioner, as a result of which, she is unable to defend her interest. By order dated 07/03/2025, this Court had directed the learned Government Advocate, Assam, to obtain instruction. Today, when the matter is called up, Mr. J.K. Goswami, learned Additional Senior Government Advocate, Assam, has produced a copy of the communication dated 24/03/2025 issued by the Joint Secretary to the Government of Assam, Women & Child Development Department, to submit that definite charge will be framed against the writ petition within 3 (three) days from today by modifying the earlier show cause notice dated 20/08/2024. There is no wrangle at the Bar that such a recourse is permissible under the law. In view of the above, by retaining a copy of the communication dated 24/03/2025 in the record of this case, this writ petition stands disposed by granting liberty to the respondents to do the needful, in accordance with law.
