Respondent(s) (Cause title is taken from Case Information System) For Petitioner : Mr. T.K. Tiwari, Advocate For Respondent/ State : Mr. Lav Sharma, P.L. (HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE BIBHU DATTA GURU) Order on Board 22/06/2026 1. By this petition, the petitioner seeks quashment of the charge JYOTI SHARMA Digitally signed by JYOTI SHARMA Date: 2026.06.23 12:05:26 +0530 2 / 3 sheet (Annexure-P-1). 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner, who is posted as Inspector at legal Meterology Department Korba, has been placed under suspension on wholly arbitrary grounds alleging pendency of verification and stamping applications, though such action is contrary to the provisions of the Chhattisgarh Lok Sewa Guarantee Adhiniyam, 2011. He further submits that the suspension order has been passed mala fide at the instance of respondent No.2 after the petitioner had earlier challenged her transfer order and succeeded before this Court. He further submits that the impugned charge-sheet with an ulterior object and with malafide intention. Thus this petition for quashment of the impugned charge sheet. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the State, would support the impugned action of the respondent authorities.He would further submit that, at this stage, this Court should not interfere in the disciplinary proceedings, which have been initiated against the petitioner. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties, perused the documents appended thereto. 5. The law is well settled that the charge sheet should not be quashed at an initial stage and it is always open to the petitioner to raise whatever pleas are available before the Disciplinary Authority. The petitioner has ample opportunity to raise his grievances and any opinion made at this stage may affect the 3 / 3 proceedings, which have been initiated. (See: Secretary, Ministry of Defence and Others v. Prabhash Chandra Mirdha 2012 (11) SCC 565). 6. For the reasons stated hereinabove, the writ petition, being bereft of merit, is liable to be and is hereby dismissed at the motion stage itself. Sd/- (BIBHU DATTA GURU) JUDGE Jyoti
