P.C. SASIDHARAN - SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.11253 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of April, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner has been suspended from service as early as on 10.9.2009. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that neither the petitioner has been reinstated in service nor has there been any headway in the disciplinary proceedings. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. I am of opinion that having suspended the petitioner as early as on 10.9.2009, minimum the respondents should have done was to complete the disciplinary proceedings expeditiously. More than 1 ½ years have already elapsed since the suspension and no steps in that regard is evident. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to see that the disciplinary proceedings initiated against the petitioner by suspending the petitioner is completed and taken to its logical conclusion, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
