ORDER : R.SUBRAMANIAN, J. Prayer : Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, to issue a Writ of Mandamus, directing the 1st respondent to conduct an enquiry on the basis of the petitioner's representation dated 11.11.2014 within time stipulated by this Court. The prayer in the writ petition is for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus, directing the 1st respondent to conduct an enquiry on the basis of the petitioner's representation dated 11.11.2014 within the time to be fixed by this Court. 2. A status report has been filed on behalf of the 1st respondent stating that the audit objections were enquired into and it was found that there was no substance in the complaint made by the petitioner. The report of the Inspector of Police, Vigilance and Anti Corruption, Nagercoil, dated 06.02.2016 has also been filed. Once the Vigilance and Anti Corruption Department has come to the conclusion that there has been no irregularity and there is no cause for initiating any proceedings against the officers concerned, we do not think we can probe further in the light of the limited jurisdiction that we have under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue any other legal remedy that may be available to the petitioner, the Writ Petition is closed. No costs.
