Present: Ms. Puja Banga, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.(Oral) Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the order-dated 11.2.2011 passed by respondent no. 2, by which he has been put under suspension. The petitioner is a Head Constable in the Police Department, State of Uttarakhand. A disciplinary proceeding has been initiated against him and during the pendency of the disciplinary proceeding, the services of the petitioner have been suspended. The petitioner has prayed for quashing of the impugned order dated 11.2.2011, by which his services have been suspended. No interference is called for in this writ petition inasmuch as it is a normal disciplinary proceeding. The petitioner has been suspended during the pendency of a departmental proceeding and the law provides that suspension can be made during of disciplinary proceeding. The present writ petition is therefore devoid of merit and is liable to be dismissed and is hereby dismissed. No order as to costs. 2 However, it is hoped that the Department will not make any unnecessary delay in completion of the departmental proceeding, and that the petitioner will also cooperate in the proceedings.
