WPSS No. 740 of 2008 Hon'ble Prafulla C. Pant, J. Heard Sri S.S. Yadav, learned counsel for the petitioner. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 03.07.2008, passed by District Magistrate, Udham Singh Nagar, whereby petitioner Jagdish Prasad, a Registrar Kanungo, has been placed under suspension for loss of record. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents and after going through the contents of papers filed with the writ petition, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the suspension order. However, considering the fact that petitioner’s superannuation is not far, this Court thinks it just and proper to direct the Inquiry Officer to complete the inquiry within a period of three months. Therefore, the writ petition is summarily dismissed with the observation that the Inquiry Officer shall complete the departmental inquiry within a period of three months from the date certified copy of this order is produced before such authority, provided the petitioner cooperates with the Inquiry Officer.
