(1.) The petitioner, who was working as Commandant, 163 Battalion, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF for short), has sought quashment of order dated 13th July, 2012, whereby he came to be compulsorily retired from service. The petitioner has also sought quashment of departmental inquiry initiated against him and entire proceedings alongwith the inquiry report, on the grounds taken in the memo of writ petition.
(2.) The writ petition was considered and admitted to hearing on 04.01.2013 by one of the coordinate benches of this Court. The respondents have filed their reply and have resisted the writ petition on the averments made therein. The petitioner in response has filed a rejoinder affidavit. Therefore, the pleadings are complete.
(3.) I have heard learned counsel for the parties, examined the material on record and considered the matter.
