Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. 3. Having considered the submissions made by both the learned counsel, this Court is of the view that when there is a specific direction by the 1st respondent, the 2nd respondent should have completed the enquiry within the specified time. However, this Court feels that one more opportunity may be given to the 2nd respondent for completion of the enquiry. 4. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to complete the enquiry, within a period of three (3) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
