JUDGMENT :
NIRZAR S. DESAI, J.
1. Heard learned advocate Mr. Vaibhav Vyas for the petitioners and learned AGP Mr. Parth Patel for the respondent–State.
2. Learned advocate Mr. Vaibhav Vyas submitted that all these petitions involve identical prayers as well as identical facts. Even the date of the charge sheet is the same in all the matters. Therefore, all three matters were heard together and are being decided by this common order. It is further submitted that Special Civil Application No. 3173 of 2026 may be treated as the lead matter, and therefore, the facts are stated from SCA No. 3173 of 2026.
3. By way of
The issuance of charge sheets or show-cause notices in departmental inquiries does not constitute an adverse order and thus does not provide grounds for judicial review.
Merely stating that huge financial losses are caused to the State would not suffice unless the charges are even prima-facie supported by any credible material placed before the court.
Unexplained delay in initiating disciplinary proceedings and vague charges can lead to quashing of the charge sheet, as it would be unfair and cause prejudice to the accused.
