1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.7755/2007. (YOGESH JAGETIA VS. STATE & ORS.) DATE OF ORDER : 28.04.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. M.S. Godara for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Ladrecha for the respondents. The petitioner – a Teacher Grade III was placed under suspension by the order dated 01.12.2006 passed by the District Education Officer (Elementary Education), Chhittorgarh. The order aforesaid was passed in view of the fact that the petitioner as a consequent to lodging a criminal case against him, was arrested on 05.10.2006. It is stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that the proceedings in the criminal case referred above i.e. FIR No.92/2007 has already been stayed by this Court in S.B. Criminal Misc. Petition No.1322/2006 and the respondents are still continuing the petitioner under suspension. As per the petitioner, the allegations against him in no matter relates to his service and there is no useful purpose shall be served by keeping him under suspension. Issue notice. Under the instructions of the Court, Shri S.S. Ladrecha, learned Standing Counsel for Department of Education accepts the notice. Learned counsel for the petitioner has also supplied him two sets of writ petition. 2 With the consent of the parties, the matter is finally heard. It is not in dispute that the petitioner is facing suspension since 01.12.2006 on the count that he was arrested in a criminal case. It is also not in dispute that the proceedings of the case aforesaid have already been stayed by this Court in a criminal misc. petition. After stay of the proceedings relating to criminal case, I do not find any justification in keeping the petitioner under suspension for an indifinite period. The petitioner is already facing suspension from about one year and four months. In such circumstances, I consider it appropriate to dispose of this petition for writ directing the District Education Officer (Elementary Education), Chittorgarh to review the suspension of the petitioner from service within a period of 15 days after receiving a certified copy of this order, through the petitioner. If there is no just reason to continue the suspension, then the same be revoked expeditiously. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. Anil/
