1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.
2. Heard Dr. P. Chuli, learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner and Mr. A. Tripathy, learned Addl. Govt. Advocate appearing for the Opp. Parties.
3. Even though the present writ petition is filed inter alia challenging order dtd.27.08.2026, wherein the disciplinary authority-Opp. Party No. 1 has directed for re-enquiry, but in course of hearing learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner fairly contended that he has no grievance with regard to conduct of re-enquiry. However, since Petitioner is going to retire in the month of May, 2027 and he will be seriously prejudiced, if the proceeding is not disposed of prior to his retirement.
4. This Court taking into account the submission and the fact that re- enquiry has already been directed, directs the Petitioner to participate in the re-enquiry.
