No.15080 of 2026 For Petitioners : Mrs.K.Porkodi Government Pleader For Respondent : Mr.R.J.Karthick ORDER This writ miscellaneous petition has been filed to vacate the interim stay granted on 03.07.2026 in WMP(MD).No.11239 of 2026 in WP(MD).No. 14938 of 2026. 2. This Court, after having considered the counter affidavit already filed in the matter, granted an interim order vide order dated 03.07.2026. Basing upon the very same counter affidavit, the present application is filed seeking vacation of the interim stay granted on 03.07.2026. As the order of interim stay was granted only on considering the contents of the counter affidavit, the question of vacating the order of interim stay at this stage does not arise. 3. Further, there is absolutely nothing on record to show that the respondents have complied with the requirement of paragraph 15.4 of the Human Resources Manual of Tamil Nadu Rural Transformation Project. 2/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WMP(MD). No.15080 of 2026 Though Mrs.K.Porkodi, learned Government Pleader, contended that the requirement under paragraph 15.4 of the Human Resources Manual of the Tamil Nadu Rural Transformation Project had been complied with by issuing a notice to the petitioner, obtaining his explanation, and thereafter taking a decision by the competent authority, a perusal of materials on record reveals that the petitioner has not admitted any of the allegations against him and has emphatically denied the allegations made against him. In such an event, unless and until a fact finding authority or an Enquiry Officer is appointed, truth cannot be elicited. The conclusion stated to have been arrived by the first respondent that there is no necessity to appoint a fact finding authority as provided under paragraph No.15.4 is absurd, arbitrary and violative of the very object that is sought to be achieved by the said paragraph 15.4 of the Human Resources Manual of Tamil Nadu Rural Transformation Project. 5. In the circumstances, this Court does not find any reason to vacate the interim order dated 03.07.2026 and accordingly, this writ miscellaneous petition is dismissed. 3/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WMP(MD).
