JUDGMENT

¶29

¶30

[Judgment of the Court was delivered by K.K.SASIDHARAN, J. ]

¶31

The appellant challenged the show cause notice dated 28.01.2014 issued by the second respondent in W.P.(MD).No.3620 of 2014.

¶32

2.The Miscellaneous Application filed by the appellant herein for stay of the impugned order was rejected by the learned Judge, on the ground that it was a charge memo.

¶33

3.The learned counsel for the appellant contended that the impugned order is not a charge memo and it was only a show cause notice.

¶34

The learned Judge proceeded as if the impugned order was only a charge memo. Even if it is a show cause notice, there is no question of staying the operation of the show cause notice, during currency of the Writ Petition. It is always open to the petitioner to raise all his contentions in the pending W.P.(MD).No.3620 of 2014.

¶35

We, therefore, do not find any reason to take a different view in the matter. We direct the Registry to post the Writ Petition before the learned Judge, as per roster for final disposal, during the first week of August 2017.

¶36

The intra-Court Appeal is disposed of, with the above direction. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
