CWP (T) No. 7477/2008 23.2.2010: Present: Mr. Sunil Goel, Advocate vice counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Additional Advocate General for the respondents. The principal relief sought in this petition is that the departmental proceedings initiated against the petitioner vide memorandum dated 19.9.2000 be concluded within reasonable period. The learned Senior Additional Advocate General was directed to seek instructions on 8.7.2009 about the latest status of the disciplinary proceedings initiated against the petitioner. In sequel thereto, learned Deputy Advocate General has placed on record copy of order dated 7.12.2004. It is apparent from the contents of order dated 7.12.2004 that the disciplinary proceedings initiated against the petitioner were concluded and the inquiry report was furnished by the Inquiry Officer dated 9.2.2004. The Disciplinary Authority has imposed the penalty of withholding of three increments with cumulative effect upon the petitioner. Consequently, the present petition is rendered infructuous in view of order dated 7.12.2004. However, it shall be open to the petitioner to assail office order dated 7.12.2004 in accordance with law, as advised. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), Judge. 23.2.2010. *awasthi*
