W.P. No. 164 of 2004 (S/S) Hon’ble Irshad Hussain, J. Heard Sri B.S.Khanka lelarned counsel for the petitioner and Sri J.P.Joshi learned Standing Counsel. This is a petition whereby the prayer is to quash the suspension order dated 9-2-2004 and charge sheet dated 10-2-2004. The learned counsel for the petitioner stated that the charge sheet has been submitted and the departmental proceeding is pending against him. Suspension order itself is not a penalty. It also does not fix any liability on the petitioner and therefore the petition is not maintainable and is dismissed in limine. It is however directed that the departmental inquiry shall be completed against the petitioner within a period of three months. (Irshad Hussain, J.) Dt: 3-3-2004 ISB
