    Summary: The Bombay High Court (Nagpur Bench) disposed of the writ petition as infructuous since the departmental enquiry against the petitioner was already dropped by the Divisional Commissioner's order dated 16.11.2021. The court also held that the State Information Commission lacks authority to direct initiation of disciplinary enquiry against a first appellate authority. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
