JUSTICE B.J.SHETHNA and HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE MD SHAH Date : 04/08/2006 ORAL JUDGMENT SCA/13941/2006 2/3 JUDGMENT (Per : HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE B.J.SHETHNA) Learned counsel for Mr.J.B.Pardiwala for the respondent-High Court of Gujarat states that the subject matter of the petition is under active consideration before the High Court of Gujarat on its administrative side and the decision in this regard will be taken and communicated to the concerned District Judge, who in turn will act as per the decision taken by the High Court of Gujarat. In view of the above, Shri Panchal learned counsel for the petitioner, seeks permission to withdraw this petition with a request that the respondent-High Court of Gujarat may be directed to take the decision in the matter as early as possible. When the statement is made by the responsible officer of the Court at the Bar on behalf of the respondent-High Court of Gujarat that the matter is under active consideration before the High Court on its administrative side, then we are sure that the said decision will be taken as early as possible. With these observations, permission is granted. Accordingly, disposed of as withdrawn. Rule discharged with no order as to costs. Before parting, we must state that on the last occasion when this petition was placed before us, we had orally directed Shri Pardiwala, leaned counsel for the respondent-High Court of Gujarat to give us SCA/13941/2006 3/3 JUDGMENT the details about the matters of judicial officers, which are pending before the respondent-High Court. Today, Shri Pardiwala has placed the chart showing the pendency of the departmental inquiries against the judicial officers. It is also brought to our notice that in the recent Full Court Meeting, as many as 3 Disciplinary Committees have been constituted so that the matters pending against the judicial officers be expedited. It is hoped that on a request made by the High Court on its administrative side, the Disciplinary Committees may give priority to real urgent matters and try to decide the cases as early as possible. Copy of this order be made available to Shri Pardiwala, learned counsel for the respondent-High Court of Gujarat forthwith for its immediate implementation. (B.J.SHETHNA, J.) (M.D.SHAH, J.) *pvv
