AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) The following order was passed on 9.1.2009:- “Learned counsel for the petitioner has contends that merely on registration of a criminal case and during its pendency, the petitioner cannot be kept under suspension. The investigation is going to take a considerable time. Even the final report under Section 173 Cr.P.C. has not been filed. Notice of motion for 9.3.2009. Notice regarding stay also. In the meantime, the concerned Deputy Commissioner is directed to have a preliminary enquiry conducted into the charges/allegations and file a report alongwith written statement.” Learned counsel for the respondent- State has pointed out that in deference to the CWP No.291 of 2009 [2] orders of this Court, preliminary enquiry has been conducted by the Sub Divisional Magistrate (Civil), Jind, copy whereof has been placed on record as Annexure R-3. Prima facie, the allegations of embezzlement have been found against the petitioner which could become the cause for his removal. The nature of allegations and the conclusion drawn by the Enquiry Officer indicates that moral turpitude is involved. In view of the facts that have come on the record by way of written statement, I find no reason to interfere in extraordinary writ jurisdiction. The petition is dismissed.
