issued by the third respondent and quash the same and further directing the respondents to reinstate the petitioner in his job.

¶13

The petitioner was working as a Salesman in TASMAC shop in Shop No.11283, Ambur, Vellore District and the third respondent preferred a complaint with the Inspector of Police, PEW, Thirupathu alleging that on 17.04.2015 at about 5.30 p.m., while inspecting the said shop, the petitioner was found mixing water into 31 liquor bottles and sold the same to the customers and on seeing them, the petitioner ran away from the shop and the same was also confirmed by the Laboratory Report. On receipt of the said complaint, the Inspector of Police, PEW, Thirupathur registered a case in Crime No.94/15 for the offence under Section 24(A) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act. The petitioner would further state that, without obtaining the Laboratory Report, the petitioner was placed under suspension by the third respondent on 18.04.2015 and on 07.05.2015 the third respondent issued a charge memo and after receipt of the same on 22.05.2015, the petitioner submitted his explanation to the third respondent. The grievance expressed by the petitioner is that though two other members were also charged in the above said criminal case and suspended along with him, they were reinstated into service and insofar as against him, no enquiry was conducted and hence, came forward forward with this writ petition.
