SMT.K.R.DEEPA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P(C).No.28934 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 30th day of September, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P1 suspension order whereby the petitioner has been suspended from service pending disciplinary proceedings on allegation that the petitioner consumed alcohol in the staff room. I am not inclined to interfere with Ext.P1, since it is only a suspension order pending disciplinary proceedings. However, having issued Ext.P1 suspension order, the respondents are bound to complete the disciplinary proceedings expeditiously. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to complete the disciplinary proceedings pursuant to Ext.P1, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
