Heard Sri Udai Prakash Deo Pandey, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the State respondents. 2. By means of this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution petitioner seeks a direction in the nature of writ of mandamus to command respondent no. 3 to decide the matter of show cause notice issued to the petitioner on 28.11.2024 as the petitioner has already submitted his reply/explanation way back on 12.12.2024. 3.
