CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA
ORAL ORDER
Learned Addl. SPP on verification of the records would submit that the charges have already been framed long before the filing of the present petition and the petition would not be entertainable at this juncture.
2. In the light of the charges being framed, the entertainment of the petition will run foul of the judgment of the Apex Court in the case of MINAKSHI BALA V. SUDHIR KUMAR1.
3. Reserving liberty to the petitioner to avail of such remedy, as is available in law, the petition stands disposed.
