The whole exercise shall be completed within a period of three months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order. The petitioner is directed to produce a copy of this order before respondent no. 2 within two weeks from today. He is further directed to cooperate with the inquiry. With this direction, the writ petition is finally disposed of. All the pending applications stand disposed of. (M.M. Ghildiyal, J.) 03.08.2007 VKS
