IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CWP No.836/2008 Date of Decision: 27.2.2008 Uma Rani Walia ............. Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and another. ..............Respondents. CORAM:HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present:- Sh.Sushil Jain,Advocate for the petitioner. Sh.Mahabir Singh Sindhu,DAG Haryana for respondents. . ***** JASBIR SINGH, J.(ORAL) By filing this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed that a writ of certiorari be issued to quash order dated 9.1.2008 (P-3) vide which she was put under suspension. Prayer is also to quash the charge sheet issued to the petitioner. Petitioner was placed under suspension on the allegation that she had kept one official file, with her, for a sufficient long period. We summoned the record and on perusal thereof, we passed the following order on 18.2.2008:- “It is not in dispute that Civil Writ Petition No.2922 of 2007 was disposed of on 26.2.2007 and the authorities concerned wee directed to decide legal notice(P-1) annexed with that writ petition, within a period of six months. Copy of the order appears to have been issued on 6.3.2007. Admittedly, as per the noting on the office file, copy was received in the office on that very date. As directed, necessary order was to be passed on or before 5.9.2007. Record produced before us indicates that the file was marked to the petitioner only on 9.10.2007. It is not clear as to, for more than six months, who kept this file. When contempt application was filed, it appears that, with a view to save some senior official, petitioner has been made a scapegoat and was suspended and now even charge sheet has been issued to her. We feel that the attitude of the respondents is most unreasonable, as they are not supposed to harass an employee in that a manner. On request made by Shri Sindhu, Sr.DAG Haryana, to get necessary information whether the authority is going to withdraw the charge sheet and suspension order of the petitioner or not, the matter is adjourned.” Today, Sh. Sindhu has put on record copy of the order dated 27.2.2008, wherein it has been mentioned that the department has decided to withdraw the charge sheet and suspension order within a week. In view of the stand taken by the respondents, this petition has become infructuous and is disposed of accordingly. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 27.2.2008 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
