IN THE HIGH COURT OF [State]
WRIT PETITION NO. [●] OF 2023
IN THE MATTER OF:
Mr. Anand Shah, S/o [Father’s Name], Residing at [Address], ...Petitioner
VERSUS
M/S Indiva Steels Ltd., A Government of India Undertaking, Having its registered office at
Indiva Steels Building, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai. ...Respondent
TO, THE HON’BLE CHIEF JUSTICE AND OTHER HON’BLE JUDGES OF THE HIGH
COURT OF [State]
THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE PETITIONER ABOVE NAMED
MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH:
1. Facts of the Case:
1.1 The Petitioner, Mr. Anand Shah, was appointed as an Upper Division Clerk (U.D. Clerk)
with the Respondent Company, M/S Indiva Steels Ltd., on 01.02.2010.
1.2 The Respondent is a company wholly owned by the Government of India and is,
therefore, an instrumentality of the State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India.
1.3 The Petitioner diligently performed his duties and received regular increments and
promotions during his tenure, serving the Respondent Company till January 2023.
1.4 On 30.03.2023, the Petitioner was summarily terminated from his services with
immediate effect by an order issued by the Managing Director of the Respondent Company,
citing allegations of misconduct and dereliction of duty.
1.5 No departmental enquiry was conducted before passing the termination order, which is in
violation of the principles of natural justice and the service rules applicable to the employees
of the Respondent Company.
2. Grounds for Challenge:
2.1 Violation of Principles of Natural Justice: The termination of the Petitioner without
conducting an enquiry is arbitrary and illegal. The Petitioner was neither given an opportunity
to be heard nor was he issued a show cause notice before termination, which violates Article
14 and Article 21 of the Constitution of India.
2.2 Non-Compliance with Service Rules: The Respondent Company, being a Government
of India undertaking, is required to adhere to service rules and disciplinary procedures, which
include conducting a proper enquiry before taking punitive action against an employee. The
failure to do so renders the termination order null and void.
2.3 Malafide and Arbitrary Action: The termination order does not specify any details of
the alleged misconduct or provide any supporting evidence. Such an abrupt and arbitrary
action is in violation of Article 311 of the Constitution of India, which mandates that a
government servant cannot be dismissed or removed without a proper enquiry.
2.4 Right to Employment and Livelihood: The Petitioner's termination has resulted in a
loss of livelihood without due process. It is a violation of the fundamental right under Article
21 of the Constitution.
3. Reliefs Sought:
In light of the above facts and circumstances, the Petitioner humbly prays that this Hon’ble
Court may be pleased to:
A. Issue an appropriate writ, order, or direction, particularly a writ in the nature of
Certiorari, quashing and setting aside the termination order dated 30.03.2023 issued by the
Respondent Company.
B. Issue an appropriate writ, order, or direction, particularly a writ in the nature of
Mandamus, directing the Respondent Company to reinstate the Petitioner with full back
wages and all consequential benefits.
C. Direct the Respondent to conduct a fair and proper enquiry before taking any adverse
action against the Petitioner.
D. Pass any other order(s) or direction(s) as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in
the interest of justice.
4. Interim Relief:
Pending the hearing and final disposal of this Petition, the Petitioner prays for an order
directing the Respondent to:
(i) Stay the operation of the termination order dated 30.03.2023;
(ii) Allow the Petitioner to continue in service with all consequential benefits;
(iii) Not take any coercive action against the Petitioner.
5. Affidavit:
The Petitioner has not filed any other petition or proceeding on the same subject matter
before any other Court or Tribunal.
The Petitioner, therefore, prays that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue appropriate
writ(s) or order(s) in terms of the prayers stated above and render justice.
