It is not made clear how such an Internal Audit Slip issued by the Team Head of the Internal Audit Wing addressed to Sessions Judge, Theni, was made available to the petitioner. In this regard, the learned Principal District Judge, Theni, is directed to conduct an enquiry and initiate appropriate action, if required. 4. As far as the writ petition is concerned, based on the Audit Slip, it appears that no action was taken. Thus, the said Audit Slip will not provide any cause of action for filing a writ petition. The writ petition is not entertainable. Therefore, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. (S.M.S.,J.)
