(Oral) The petitioners are aggrieved at the order dated 23.10.2008 (Annexure P-3) passed by the Senior Superintendent of Police, Tarn- Taran, dismissing them from service by invoking the powers under Article 311 (2) (a) of the Constitution, for an incident which led to escape of an under-trial while he was to be produced in the Court. The appeal against the aforesaid order has also been dismissed by the D.I.G., Border Range, Amritsar. One of the contentions raised on behalf of the petitioners is that in two fact finding enquiries, no fault has been found with them and in any case, the authorities could hold a departmental enquiry in consonance C.W.P.No .20328 of 2009 (O&M) 2 with the principles of natural justice. Counsel for the petitioners, however, seeks and is permitted to withdraw this writ petition with liberty to file revision petitions before the Director General/Inspector General of Police, Punjab. It is directed that in case the petitioners submit their revision petitions within a period of one month from today, the Director General/Inspector General of Police, Punjab, shall decide the same on merits within a period of 4 months thereafter, in accordance with law.
