Counsel for the Petitioner:Mr.V.AJAYAKUMAR Counsel for the Respondent No.1 : GP FOR COOPERATION Counsel for the Respondent Nos. 2 to 5: Mr.C.V.MOHAN RAO The Court made the following : ORDER: Heard Sri V. Ajay Kumar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and also the learned Government pleader for Co-operation appearing on behalf of the 5th respondent. The petitioner who has been working as Secretary of the 5th respondent Society filed this writ petition, inter alia, seeking to assail the impugned order, dated 16-07-2004, passed by the 5th respondent. Though several contentions are sought to be urged by both sides, however, the fact remains that the impugned order is passed when the enquiry is pending. However, this court would not venture to interdict any such proceedings at this stage more so, in view of the allegations made against the employee. Instead of continuing the petitioner under suspension for a long time and keeping the matter as it is, it would suffice in the interest of justice to direct the respondents to complete the enquiry at the earliest. In view of the above, the writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the respondents to complete the enquiry and pass orders on merits in accordance with law after giving notice and opportunity to the petitioner. The respondents shall complete the entire exercise within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is needless to mention that if the enquiry is not completed and final orders are not passed, the petitioner shall be reinstated. It is also needless to mention that the petitioner shall cooperate with the respondents during the course of enquiry. __________________ B.PRAKASH RAO,J.
