Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.G.TUHIN KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent No.: MR.B.UDAYA BHASKAR The Court made the following : ORDER This writ petition is directed against the p r o c e e d i n g s No.Vig(4)/7659/NZB/2008 dated 29.08.2008 issued by the 2nd respondent. It appears, the petitioner was suspended since he was trapped by the Anti-Corruption Bureau while accepting bribe and was arrested in that regard. Now, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the charges are very trivial in nature and do not necessitate suspension of the petitioner pending enquiry. This aspect cannot be considered by this Court Article 226 of the Constitution of India. No other grounds are raised. Therefore, I see no reason to interfere with the impugned order passed by the respondents. However, this will not preclude the petitioner from ﬁling a representation before the competent authority seeking to consider raising of the suspension order, as per the GOs issued by the Government from time to time. Subject to above, writ petition is disposed of. No costs. __________ 19-09-2008 rkk
