affidavit filed by the sixth respondent detailing out the conduct of the

petitioner herein.

would submit that the writ petition is ill conceived, a third party cannot

direct the initiation of departmental and disciplinary proceedings and in

support her submission, he would rely upon the judgment of Hon'ble

Vs. Union of India and others.

5. This Court, on perusal of the affidavit filed in support of the writ

petition and counter affidavit filed by the sixth respondent, is of the view

that the prayer sought for in the writ petition is ill-conceived, which

come before this Court for making allegation against the police man, who

have taken action against him and it is indirect threat to deter the
