Sah, learned standing counsel for the respondent nos. 1 to 3 and Mr. H.S. Dhillon, Advocate holding brief of Mr. S.S. Chauhan, learned counsel for respondent no. 4. Additional rejoinder affidavit filed today in Court is taken on record. The petitioner is an Executive Officer, Nagar Palika Parishad Kichchha. The petitioner is aggrieved vide order dated 10.08.2011 passed by respondent no. 2 whereby he has been put under suspension in contemplation of a disciplinary enquiry. The contention of the petitioner is that the allegations of the petitioner pertain to the period when he was not an Executive Officer in Nagar Palika Parishad, therefore, on the face of it, no disciplinary proceedings are liable to be commenced against him. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the charges levelled against the petitioner could not be established and the disciplinary proceedings were initiated just to harass him. In this case counter and rejoinder affidavits have already been exchanged. 2 In view of the above facts, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the authority concerned to expedite the disciplinary proceedings pending against the petitioner to its logical ends as expeditiously as possible. From the record, it is evident that a charge-sheet has already been served upon the petitioner vide order dated 10.8.2011. Therefore, it would be serve the ends of justice if the disciplinary proceeding which has already commenced with the handing over the charge-sheet to the petitioner must come to an end. The writ petition is therefore disposed of with the direction that the disciplinary proceeding against the petitioner shall come to an end within a period of three months from the date of filing of the charge-sheet i.e. 10.8.2011, provided the petitioner cooperates in the disciplinary proceeding. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) Dated: 14.09.2011 VKG
