We have heard the learned Additional Solicitor General for the Union of India, as also the learned counsel for the respondent on the preliminary objections. We are of the opinion that no hearing or opportunity of showing cause against the proposed reference under Article 317 (1) is necessary before making the reference. The first objection is overruled. 3. We have perused the contents of the reference and the accompanying documents. The reference refers to the complaints annexed with reference wherefrom the facts constituting the ground of alleged "misbehaviour" within a the meaning of Article 317(1) are clearly stated.
