Shri Kishore Bhaduri, learned Additional Advocate General, on behalf of the State/respondents, submits that since the directions contained in para 19 of the order dated 24.02.2010 were not complied within time, the State filed an application for extension of time on 9.4.2010. This application was registered as M.C.C. No.277/2010 and various directions were issued to the --""\ -..^.^ ^^•r^^^.^^y^^^'s^^^'^--- M.C.C. No.277/2010 respondents in M.C.C. vide various interim orders. He submits that all the directions contained in the interim orders were followed and necessary information on affidavits were filed time to time before this Court. Thjs application for extension of time for 30 days more to complete the ehquiry was filed on OQ.4.2010. He further submits that the enquiry, as directed, has already been compieted on 01.05.2010, therefore, time frame issued by thJs Court in the order dated 24.02.2010 be extended for a period of 30 days from the date of filing of the application for extension of time or till 01.05.2010, when the enquiry, as directed, was completed by the respondents. 5. It is not disputed before us that as per directions contained in the order dated 24.02.2010, enquiry has been completed on 01.05.2010. We find from para 3 of the application dated 9.4.2010 that the said application was filed at the stage when the enquiry was already injtiated and as per the avsrments in the appiication, it was not likely to be completed on some early date, therefore, prayer was made in the application for grant of 30 days for completing the enquiry. It is stated at Bar that the enquiry has already been completed on 01.5.2010 and actrons have already been taken against erring officers in accordance with the enquiry report. It is further stated by learned Additional Advocate General that show cause notices have been issued against various persons. He further apprises this Court that the State is also taking other steps to ensure that the order dated 24.02.2010, by which the impugned order dated 7th October. 2009 (Annexure-P/11 jn the writ petition) has been quashed, js complied in its letter and spirit. ^i M^ ^ .®®^ ^s^ M.C.C. No.277/2010 5. In view of the above, we deem it appropriate to extend the period of 30 days granted in the order dated 24.02.2010 till 01.05.2010, when the enquiry, as directed, was completed. 6. Accordingly, M.C.C. No.277/2010 is disposed of and time of 30 days granted in para 19 of the order dated 24.02.2010 passed in W.P.(C)No.6915/2009, is extended till 01 .05.2010.
