1. The applicants have filed the instant original applications being aggrieved by the show cause notice dated 01.04.2013 on the ground that the show cause notice is vague as it does not disclose about nature of malpractice alleged to have been adopted by them. It is contended that the applicants appeared in Food Corporation of India Exam 2012 conducted by the Staff Selection Commission in which they were declared successful and recommended for appointment on the post of AG-II (Technical) in West Zone.
