Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari calling for the records and quashing the impugned order of suspension dated 11.4.2007 (Annexure No. 3 to this writ petition), passed by Director, Social Welfare, Uttarakhand, Haldwani, District Nainital, respondent no. 2. 2. Pass any other and further orders, which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. 3. Award the cost of writ petition to the petitioner. The stand of the petitioner is that he was posted as Assistant Superintendent, Juvenile Jail, Rudrapur, District Udham Singh Nagar. He was placed under suspension for certain charges by the Director, Social Welfare, Uttarakhand, Haldwani, District Nainital by order dated 11.04.2007. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Rudrapur has been appointed Inquiry Officer. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that more than 3 months have been passed, but petitioner has not yet received the charge sheet and he is going to be retired on 31.10.2007. In the circumstances, petitioner has prayed that a direction be issued to the Director, Social Welfare, Uttarakhand, Haldwani, District Nainital to conclude the inquiry and pass final order as expeditiously as possible. The prayer is innocuous. Consequently, I direct respondent no. 2 Director, Social Welfare, Uttarakhand, Haldwani, District Nainital to conclude the inquiry and pass final order within a period of two months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order. Petitioner is directed to serve copy of this order to respondent no. 2 within a period of 10 days from today and to cooperate with the inquiry. With this direction, the writ petition is finally disposed of. All the pending applications stand disposed of. (M.M. Ghildiyal, J.) 28.06.2007 VKS
