(2.) Brief facts necessary for the adjudication of present petition are as under;

(3.) Feeling aggrieved, the petitioner has filed this writ petition. It is an admitted position that petition stood filed without exhausting statutory remedy of filing an appeal. However, taking into consideration the fact that petition was filed in the year, 2010, now, this Court is not relegating the petitioner back to avail the statutory remedy of filing the appeal, because, as would be evident from the subsequent paras of the judgment, the very initiation of enquiry against the petitioner was void ab-initio.
