CWP No. 1713 of 2007. 8.1.2008. Present: Mr.Amit Singh Chandel, counsel for the petitioner. . Mr.R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr.J.S. Guleria, Law Officer, for respondents No.1 to 9. Mr.Bhuvnesh Sharma, counsel for respondent No.10. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No.10 has given a false birth certificate while joining service and that despite various complaints having been made by the petitioner, no appropriate action has been taken by the State Government against the said respondent and the petitioner has, therefore, prayed for the grant of following reliefs: “i) Respondent no.1-9 may please be directed to fairly, properly, conduct & complete the investigation expeditiously against the respondent no.10 irrespective of the status of the respondent no.10.with further directions to submit the final & complete report before the Hon’ble Court. ii) Respondent no.1-9 may please be directed to stop the retiring benefits of the respondent no.10 and to recover the economic loss done to the State exchequer along with interest. iii) Respondent no.1-9 may please be directed to lodge FIR against the respondent no.10 under the relevant section of the IPC.” As far as registration of FIR is concerned, respondent No.4, alongwith reply, has annexed the copy of the FIR No.306 registered on 3.11.2007 against respondent No.10, in this behalf. The investigation in this case is going on. The only direction we can give is that the investigation be completed as early as possible and in any event not later than 30th April, 2008. Thereafter, the police shall file final report under Section 173 Cr.P.C. before the court concerned. CWP No. 1713 of 2007. -2- The other prayer of the petitioner is that respondents No.1 to 9 may be directed to stop the disbursement of retiral benefits to respondent No.10 and recover economic loss caused to the State from him. No such order can be passed till it is first established that respondent No.10 has committed such an act which has rendered him liable to refund some amount to the State. We, in exercise of our writ jurisdiction, cannot issue any such orders without proper inquiry being conducted in the said matter. The only direction which can be given is that the State, if it so desires, may have conducted a proper inquiry in accordance with rules and take action in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. No orders as to costs. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of, as the main petition stands disposed of.
