The Tribunal refused to interfere with the said order and dismissed the same, by order, dated 29.10.2004. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the enquiry was already conducted into the misconduct alleged against the petitioner and the enquiry officer found the petitioner not guilty of the charges, but still the suspension order is not lifted. 4. We are not concerned with the subsequent action to the order of suspension. Now, it is brought to the notice of this Court that the enquiry was already conducted and the petitioner was exonerated of the charges by the enquiry officer. 5. Under those circumstances, we feel it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction that if the enquiry has already been conducted, the first respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders, if not already passed, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 6. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
