ORDER
(The matter is taken up through web hearing)
The writ petition has been filed challenging the order of the third

also proposing to take action against the third respondent for his
contemptuous conduct.

[7/10, 14:24] Sekarreporter 1: W.P.No.8481 of 2020
12.In the above circumstances, this Court is constrained to stay the
impugned order of termination dated 13.03.2020 of the third respondent, as
the order, in the prima facie opinion of this Court, is a nullity. Accordingly,
the impugned order of termination dated 13.03.2013 is stayed, with a
direction to restore the employment of the petitioner, forthwith.
13.In view of the contemptuous conduct, the third respondent, viz.,
the Deputy Director of Health Service, Dharmapuri District, is directed to
appear before this Court through Video Conference on 15.07.2020, without
fail. This Court is constrained to pass this order, despite the Covid-19
situation, as the crass conduct of the third respondent is too serious and
deprecatory, displaying officious supercilious disposition to be ignored by
this Court and deferred. The third respondent is directed to explain in
writing as to on what basis the impugned order was passed by him.
