C.W.P. No. 6849 of 2009 S.S. Goyal and another vs. State of Haryana and others Present: Mr.R.N.Lohan, Advocate for the petitioners. *** Notice of motion. Mr.Harish Rathee, Senior DAG, Haryana accepts notice on behalf of he respondents. With the consent of parties the matter is taken up for final disposal. The primary grouse of the petitioners in this petition is that a chargesheet was issued to them; an inquiry was ordered to be conducted; inquiry officer was appointed as far back as on 27.2.2004; and petitioners retired on 31.3.2005 and 31.10.2006 respectively. However, despite this fact the inquiry is not being concluded. Learned counsel for the petitioners has prayed for a direction to the respondents to finalise the inquiry proceedings within any reasonable time. I find this to be a fair request. In the circumstances the respondents are directed to finalise the disciplinary proceedings within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order and thereafter within a further period of three months release to the petitioners such benefits which may be due to them. This would be subject to the petitioners' cooperating with the respondents. With the above said direction this writ petition is disposed of. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE May 06, 2009 sunita
