                                RP No.25 of 2024

                       ---------------------------

                   Dated this the 15th day of February, 2024

                                     ORDER

The review petition is filed primarily on the ground that since criminal proceedings are pending, the judgment passed by this Court directing the removal of the post would violate his fundamental right under Article 20(3) of the Constitution of India. It was made clear in the earlier order dated 20 th December 2023 that the act of removal of the post on directions of this Court will not in any manner prejudice any of the contentions of the review petitioner in the criminal proceedings. Given the above, the apprehension of the petitioner is without any basis. Making it clear that the petitioner is free to take up all the contentions available to him under law while defending the criminal prosecution, this review petition is disposed of as above.
