THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.23174 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is working in C.I.S.F., as Head Constable. The Commandant, C.I.S.F., the 4th respondent herein, passed order, dated 27.07.2011, placing the petitioner under suspension, in contemplation of disciplinary proceedings. The petitioner challenges the same. The petitioner places reliance upon the provisions of C.I.S.F. Rules, 2001 (for short ‘the Rules’), and submits that the impugned order is without any basis. It is also pleaded that no, prima facie, case is made out, as contemplated under the Rules. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. It is clear that, the impugned order is the one placing the petitioner under suspension, in contemplation of disciplinary proceedings. It cannot be equated to a punishment, nor does it add any stigma. The occasion to issue notice, or serve charge sheet, arises thereafter. Learned Standing Counsel submits that a preliminary enquiry was conducted, before the impugned order was passed and that the charge sheet would be served very shortly. Suspension pending enquiry cannot be interfered with, except where the Authority, who issued the order, does not have the jurisdiction, or the facts mentioned in such orders are patently incorrect. None of those grounds exist in the instant case. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, the Disciplinary Authority is directed to conclude the proceedings initiated against the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:17.08.2011 GJ
