and he was posted at Shop No.11107, Vellore District. The petitioner would further state that he was suffering from viral fever from 01.04.2014 to 03.04.2014 and he informed the second respondent over phone that he was on leave on those days. However, the flying squad of the respondents attached to the Salem Zone as well as the second respondent conducted a surprise inspection on 02.04.2014 and found irregularities like mixing waters to liquors and in this regard, a police complaint was also lodged on 02.04.2014 and the petitioner was placed under suspension, vide order of the second respondent dated 03.04.2014 and thereafter a charge memo was issued by the second respondent on 21.07.2014, for which, the petitioner has also submitted his explanation. The second respondent, not being satisfied with the explanation offered by the petitioner, appointed an Enquiry Officer, who, after conducting enquiry, submitted his report dated 17.10.2014, holding that the charges framed against the petitioner have not been proved especially with regard to the fact that the Chemical Analyst Report has not been placed before him. The second respondent, however, disagreed with the Enquiry Officer's report and issued a show cause notice dated 27.08.2014, for which the petitioner has also submitted his explanation on 28.08.2014. The second respondent, on consideration of the materials placed before him, has imposed the punishment of removal from service, vide order dated 29.08.2014. Being aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal to the first respondent, who, vide order dated 24.07.2015, has dismissed the appeal and confirmed the order or removal from service passed by the second respondent and challenging the legality of the same, the present writ petition is filed.
