IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 533 of 2010 (S/S) Mukesh Singh Rana, S/O Daram Singh, presently posted Gram Panchayat Vikas Adhikari, Block Khatima, District Udham Singh Nagar. …… Petitioner. Versus The Chief Engineer & Head of the (Personal) Irrigation Departmet, Uttarakhand, Dehradun and four others. … Respondents. Mr. S.C.Bhatt, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. K.C.Tiwari, Brief Holder, learned counsel for the respondents. Date July 12, 2010. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of certiorari to quash the order dated 2-6- 2009 passed by respondent no. 3. Petitioner has further sought a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to conclude the enquiry against the petitioner with detailed reasons. The petitioner has also sought a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to conclude the enquiry report or revoke the suspension order of the petitioner. By the impugned order dated 2-9-2009, the petitioner who is Gram Panchyat Vikas Adhikari has been suspended by the Executive Engineer, Nalkoop Khand, Haldwani on account of charges levelled against him and is subjected to disciplinary proceedings. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. A perusal of the record shows that the petitioner has been suspended with immediate effect by impugned order dated 2- 6-2009 (Annexure-1). 2 The grievance of the petitioner is that the disciplinary enquiry has not so far completed and more than one year has already been elapsed from the date of suspension of the petitioner. In the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the respondent-authorities may be directed to conclude the disciplinary enquiry pending against the petitioner within a time bound period. Prayer is innocuous. In the above facts and circumstances, the respondent- authorities are directed to conclude the disciplinary enquiry against the petitioner in accordance with Rules expeditiously within a period of three months from the date of production of certified copy of this Court. If the disciplinary enquiry is not concluded within the stipulated period of three months, the suspension order passed against the petitioner (Annexure-1 to the petition) shall be deemed to be revoked automatically. With the above direction and observation, the writ petition is disposed of finally. ( B.S.Verma, J. ) RCP
