1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.9254/2008. (RANCHHOD GARG VS. STATE OF RAJ. & OTHERS) DATE OF ORDER : 19.11.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mrs. Nupur Bhati for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Ladrecha for the respondents. Issue notice to show cause as to why this petition for writ be not admitted. Shri S.S. Ladrecha, learned Standing Counsel for the Department of Education (Elementary) accepts notice. Heard learned counsel for the parties on merits of the case. By an order dated 14.05.2008 passed by the Director (Elementary Education), Government of Rajasthan, while exercising powers under Rule 13 of the Rajasthan Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1958 placed the petitioner under suspension on being arrested while accepting bribe on 13.05.2008. An appeal under Rule 22 of the Rules of 1958 was submitted by the petitioner to the Principal Secretary 2 to the Government of Rajasthan, Department of Education, Jaipur on 06.06.2008. The appeal aforesaid is yet pending consideration. By this petition for writ, the petitioner has given challenge to the order dated 15.05.2008 on various counts, however, I do not consider it appropriate to interfere with the matter as the appeal preferred by the petitioner is pending consideration. Such appeal is certainly required to be decided by the competent authority expeditiously. In view of it, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Principal Secretary to the Government ofRajasthan, Department of Education to decide the appeal said to be filed by the petitioner within a period of two months from the date the petitioner serves a copy of this order on him.
