SBCWP4538/2010 // 1 // IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR ORDER IN S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.4538/2010 Om Prakash Mangal Vs. The Inspector General, Registration and Stamp Department, Rajasthan Ajmer and Others Date of Order ::: 09.04.2010 Present Hon'ble Mr. Justice Mohammad Rafiq Shri Rajneesh Gupta, Counsel for petitioner #### By the Court:- Petitioner Om Prakash Mangal has filed this writ petition praying for quashing of impugned order dated 08.03.2010 placing him under suspension. Learned counsel for petitioner has argued that sanction for prosecution in the matter of co-delinquent Dharam Singh Meena was issued earlier whereas sanction for prosecution of petitioner was issued on 27.08.2007. Initially when it was not decided to place the petitioner under suspension, the government could not have thereafter decided to place him under suspension after a delay of two-and-a- half year. Learned counsel, in support of his SBCWP4538/2010 // 2 // argument, cited judgment of this Court in S.L. Pandya Vs. State Bank of India & Another – 1992 (1) WLC (Raj.) 127. It is argued that in trap proceedings, which were conducted on 14.05.2004 and amount was recovered from Dharam Singh Meena, petitioner has only been falsely implicated. In my considered view that delay is not so much, that by itself should be a reason for this court to interfere with order of suspension. Petitioner, if feels aggrieved of order of suspension, has alternative remedy of appeal under Rule 22 of the Rajasthan Civil Services (Classification, Control & Appeal) Rules, 1958. In result, writ petition is dismissed, however, with liberty to petitioner to file an appeal before appellate authority, which shall be considered and decided in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible.
