. Nobody appears for the petitioner. This
¶9
petition is filed under misconceived perception.
Grievance of the petitioner appears to be that
Departmental Enquiry was not conducted in accordance
with the Rules, therefore he thought that this was a
case of contempt. There is no allegation which
would attract any of the provisions of the Contempt
of Courts Act, therefore the Petition is dismissed.
