WA 374/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. MADAN B. LOKUR HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE T. NANDAKUMAR SINGH The appellant had filed a writ petition bearing WP(C) No.4283/2010 in which it w as prayed, inter alia, for a direction to set aside the suspension of the petiti oner by an order dated 28.9.2007 and also to quash the disciplinary proceeding i nitiated against him based on a show cause notice dated 17.3.2008. 2. Before the learned Single Judge, it appears that the principal issue rai sed was not about his suspension but about the delay in disposal of the enquiry. The reason for this is that an appeal had been preferred by the appellant again st the order of suspension which was disposed of departmentally by a speaking or der dated 3.4.2009. 3. Insofar as the departmental enquiry is concerned, it is recorded by the learned Single Judge that three notices were issued to the appellant to appear b efore him, but the notices could not be served since he was absent unauthorisedl y from the Head Quarter, where he was posted. Because of his continuous absence, notice was served by publication in the newspaper on 1.7.2010. 4. The learned Single Judge noted that since the appellant has now appeared in the enquiry proceeding, it should be disposed of as early as possible. 5. Learned counsel for the appellant informs us that the enquiry is near co mpletion inasmuch as the statements of the prosecution witnesses have been recor ded, May be, the statements of all the prosecution witnesses have been recorded. 6. That being the position, we decline to entertain this writ appeal but re iterate that the departmental inquiry be disposed of expeditiously. 7. Dismissed.
