In its reply filed in the SC, the HC has said her petition was not maintainable as the allegations levelled there has already been rejected by two separate inquiry committees. The Registrar General of the HC also said the HC had not compelled her to tender resignation and now, she couldn’t be allowed to withdraw it.

The petitioner has said her rights for employment, to work and to carry on her profession needs to be secured.  — PTI
