**WRIT PETITION NO. ___ OF 2025**

**Mr. Anand Shah**

Son of [Father’s Name],

Aged [Age],

Residing at [Full Residential Address],

Mumbai, Maharashtra

... **Petitioner**

**Versus**

1. **M/s Indiva Steels Ltd.**

A Government of India Undertaking,

Having its Registered Office at

Indiva Steels Building, Bandra Kurla Complex,

Mumbai, Maharashtra – 400051

(Through its Managing Director)

2. **The Managing Director,**

M/s Indiva Steels Ltd.,

Indiva Steels Building, Bandra Kurla Complex,

Mumbai, Maharashtra – 400051

... **Respondents**

**WRIT PETITION UNDER ARTICLE 226 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA**

**MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH:**

1. **The Petitioner:** The Petitioner, Mr. Anand Shah, is an Indian citizen residing at [Full
Residential Address], Mumbai. He was employed with Respondent No. 1, M/s Indiva Steels
Ltd., a company wholly owned by the Government of India, from 01.02.2010 until his
unlawful termination on 30.03.2023.

2. **The Respondents:**

a. Respondent No. 1 is a public sector undertaking wholly owned by the Government of

India, having its registered office at Indiva Steels Building, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai. It
is amenable to the writ jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court under Article 226 as it performs
public functions and is an instrumentality of the State under Article 12 of the Constitution of
India.

b. Respondent No. 2 is the Managing Director of Respondent No. 1 and the authority
responsible for issuing the impugned termination order dated 30.03.2023.

3. **Facts of the Case:**

 a. The Petitioner was appointed as an Upper Division (U.D.) Clerk with Respondent No. 1
on 01.02.2010 and served diligently until January 2023. During his tenure of over 13 years,
he received regular increments and promotions in recognition of his satisfactory
performance.

b. On 30.03.2023, Respondent No. 2 issued an order terminating the Petitioner’s services

with immediate effect, alleging misconduct and dereliction of duty. A true copy of the
termination order dated 30.03.2023 is annexed hereto as **Annexure A**.

c. The Petitioner was relieved of his duties on the same day, i.e., 30.03.2023, without being
afforded an opportunity to defend himself or respond to the allegations. No disciplinary
enquiry, as mandated by the service rules applicable to employees of Respondent No. 1, was
conducted prior to the termination.

d. The Petitioner submits that the termination order is arbitrary, illegal, and in violation of
the principles of natural justice, as well as the applicable service rules and regulations
governing employees of Respondent No. 1.

4. **Grounds for the Petition:**

The Petitioner seeks to challenge the impugned termination order on the following
grounds, inter alia:

a. **Violation of Natural Justice:** The Respondents failed to issue a show-cause notice or

hold a disciplinary enquiry before terminating the Petitioner’s services, thereby denying him
a fair opportunity to rebut the allegations of misconduct and dereliction of duty.

b. **Non-Compliance with Service Rules:** The termination contravenes the service rules
applicable to employees of Respondent No. 1, which mandate a fair enquiry and adherence
to due process in cases of alleged misconduct.

c. **Arbitrariness:** The termination order is arbitrary and lacks any reasoned basis, as no
specific instances of misconduct or dereliction of duty have been substantiated or proven
against the Petitioner.

d. **Violation of Article 14:** The impugned action of the Respondents violates the
Petitioner’s right to equality and protection against arbitrary state action under Article 14 of
the Constitution of India.

e. **Public Employment Rights:** As an employee of a government-owned company, the

Petitioner is entitled to the safeguards of public employment, which have been blatantly
disregarded by the Respondents.
5. **Cause of Action:** The cause of action arose on 30.03.2023 when the Respondents
issued the impugned termination order and relieved the Petitioner of his duties without due
process.

6. **Jurisdiction:** This Hon’ble Court has jurisdiction to entertain this Writ Petition under
Article 226 of the Constitution of India, as Respondent No. 1 is a public sector undertaking
located within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court, and the impugned order was issued at
its registered office in Mumbai.

7. **No Alternative Remedy:** The Petitioner has no equally efficacious alternative remedy
available, and the Respondents’ actions, being in violation of fundamental rights and
statutory rules, warrant the intervention of this Hon’ble Court.

**PRAYER:**

In view of the facts and circumstances stated above, the Petitioner most humbly prays that
this Hon’ble Court be pleased to:

a. Issue a writ of certiorari or any other appropriate writ, order, or direction quashing and
setting aside the termination order dated 30.03.2023 issued by Respondent No. 2 (Annexure
A).

b. Direct the Respondents to reinstate the Petitioner to his position as U.D. Clerk with M/s
Indiva Steels Ltd. with full back wages, increments, and consequential benefits.

c. Grant interim relief by staying the operation of the impugned termination order dated
30.03.2023 pending the final disposal of this Writ Petition.

d. Award costs of this petition to the Petitioner.

e. Grant such other and further reliefs as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the
interest of justice.

**AND FOR THIS ACT OF KINDNESS, THE PETITIONER SHALL EVER PRAY.**

3. **Facts of the Case:**

a. On 17th January 2024, the Complainant purchased a Videocon Washing Machine from
