Shah vs. State and others) __________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND F.M.REIS, JJ. DATED : NOVEMBER 10, 2009 Heard Shri Sudame, learned Counsel for the petitioner, Shri Kothari, learned Assistant Government Pleader for the respondent no.1, and Shri Paunikar, learned Counsel for the respondent nos. 2 and 3. Shri Sudame, learned Counsel for the petitioner, states that in the present petition, the petitioner has challenged the order of suspension as well as issuance of charge-sheet to the petitioner pending departmental enquiry. Shri Paunikar, learned Counsel for the 2 respondent nos. 2 and 3, states that so far as order of suspension is concerned, same has already been revoked by the respondent nos. 2 and 3. It is submitted that so far as departmental enquiry is concerned, same shall be completed within a period of six months according to law and procedure applicable in this regard. Shri Sudame, learned Counsel for the petitioner, further states that Selection Committee has already considered the claim of the petitioner for the promotional post, i.e. Zonal Manager and also selected the petitioner for the same. However, due to pendency of departmental enquiry against the petitioner, juniors to the petitioner are promoted. Be that as it may, since learned Counsel for respondent nos. 2 and 3 has made a statement that departmental enquiry against the petitioner shall be completed in accordance with law and procedure applicable in this regard within six months, we hope and trust that it shall be completed within the said period and on completion of the same, the Department will undoubtedly take appropriate steps in accordance with law so far as promotion of the 3 petitioner is concerned. With these observations, the petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE khj
