1 D.B.Civil Special Appeal(Writ) No.887/2008 Dr.Amba Lal Yadav V/s State of Raj. & ors. 4.8.2008 Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr.Narayan Roy Hon'ble Mr.Justice Mohammad Rafiq Mr.D.P.Sharma for the appellant. Heard. The writ application filed by the appellant against interim order of suspension pending departmental proceedings was dismissed. We are informed by learned counsel for the appellant that in the pending departmental proceedings, charges have already been framed and served upon the appellant. Learned counsel submits that the appellant is at the verge of superannuation and he has remained under suspension for about a year. From the materials on record, it appears that illegal gratification was demanded on behalf of this appellant from Dr.Srivastava. Owing to the nature of allegations made against the writ petitioner-appellant and also keeping in view the fact that the charges have already been served, in our view, it would not be appropriate to revoke the order of suspension. It would be expedient in the interest of justice to direct the disciplinary authority to conclude the departmental proceedings within a period of six months from today failing which the order of 2 suspension shall stand revoked automatically. With these directions and observations, this appeal is dismissed. (Mohammad Rafiq)J. (Narayan Roy)C.J. Parmar
