' The petitioner, is admittedly a Government servant. It is his case that he was earlier issued with the show-cause notice and proceedings against him were commenced under the Punjab Civil Servants (E&D) Rules, 1999, which were subsequently converted into Removal From Service (Special Powers) Ordinance, 2000, during the pendency of the matter another show-cause notice was issued to the petitioner by the competent Authority, as to why he should not be compulsorily retired under section 12(i) of the Punjab Civil Servants Act, 1974; still the Secretary Education, had reinitiated the proceedings against the petitioner on the basis of previous proceedings. Thus, in the circumstances, it is claimed that, once the petitioner had been directed to the retired, the Department had become functus officio; moreover, such proceedings being without lawful authority, so prohibitory writ be issued and the proceedings be quashed.
2. I am afraid that despite there being any illegality in the proceedings against the petitioner, still because of the bar under Article 212 of the Constitution, this Court has no jurisdiction to entertain this petition. Resultantly, the same is hereby dismissed.
