The charges, as such, are very grave in nature. No extraordinary grounds such as jurisdiction and mala ﬁdes are attributed or made out. During the pendency of a detailed enquiry against the petitioner, he was placed under suspension, in the public interest. Therefore, this Court cannot interfere at this juncture. Writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. However, the respondents are directed to complete the enquiry within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. __________ 12-09-2008 rkk
