The grievance is for an unduly prolonged suspension and unnecessary delay in conclusion of the departmental proceeding. If the petitioner has represented for revocation of the suspension that pertains more to the administrative domain of the respondents at this stage. It is expected that his application shall be considered appropriately at the earliest. If charges have been framed, reply 2 submitted, departmental comments received, let the departmental proceedings itself be concluded in accordance with law within a maximum period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order as stipulated under Government circular, provided the petitioner himself cooperates. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
