Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the Bihar State Electricity Board (hereinafter referred to as the “Board”). 2. Petitioner is aggrieved by the suspension order bearing Memo No. 1859 dated 27.11.2009, Annexure-5 which has been issued taking into account his conviction for the offence under Section 364 of the Penal Code vide judgment dated 12th September, 2008, Annexure-1. Later, petitioner has also been served with the memo of charge under office order dated 25.1.2010, Annexure-6, perusal whereof indicates that in support of the charge the Board wishes to examine three witnesses. It is, thus, evident that the proceeding initiated against the petitioner can be concluded at an early date. In appreciation of the aforesaid fact it is directed that the Enquiry Officer should conclude the proceeding, as early as possible, in any case within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and submit its report to the disciplinary authority who should also pass appropriate orders within a reasonable time, in any case within two months from the date of receipt of the report. It goes without saying that if petitioner does not cooperate in conclusion of the proceeding within the time indicated above then the Enquiry Officer should proceed ex parte. In case the proceeding is not concluded within the time indicated in the order then the suspension of the petitioner be revoked appreciating the fact that daughter of the petitioner is residing in her father-in-law’s house and the allegation against the petitioner is that he has kidnapped his son-in-law. 3. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
