CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NITIN WASUDEO SAMBRE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AMIT SHARMA O R D E R % 15.07.2026 1. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, we are of the view that no interference is called for at this stage of the proceedings, particularly when the petitioner has already raised an issue regarding absence of approval from the competent authority to proceed against him departmentally. He has claimed that approval ought to have been by the State Defence Minister and not by any bureaucrat. The petitioner has also raised such an objection before the authority, which we expect, if not already decided, shall be dealt along with the defence of the petitioner. 2. With the above observation, we see no reasons to call for any interference in extraordinary jurisdiction. 3. The petition stands dismissed and disposed of. This is a digitally signed order.
