Versus The Registrar, University of Mumbai & Ors. ..... Respondents. Mr. A. S. Khandeparkar for the Petitioner. Mr. S. R. Nargolkar, AGP, for Respondent No.1. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI and J. H. BHATIA, JJ. DATED : 10TH NOVEMBER, 2008. P.C.: The petitioner had been placed under suspension somewhere in the year 1996. He challenged the order of suspension by way of this writ petition. The two reliefs he claimed were that his order of suspension dated 22nd July, 1996 should be quashed and he should be reinstated. This court by interim order dated 3rd August, 1999 granted both the reliefs to the petitioner as the court found it shocking that the enquiry had not been completed from 1996 till the year 1999 when the order of was passed. 2. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that in view of the interim order of this Court, the petitioner has been reinstated. Therefore, we do not see if anything remains in this writ petition. All the reliefs claimed by the 2 petitioner have been granted to him but these reliefs were made effective till disposal of the petition. From the year 1996 till date twelve years have passed and it is submitted by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that even the enquiry has not been completed so far. Nobody even appears for respondent Nos.2 and 3. 3. In this view of the matter, we dispose of the petition and make the interim direction passed on 3rd August, 1999 absolute subject to the condition that if during the enquiry whether completed or to be completed, any action is needed to be taken against the petitioner that may be taken in accordance with law. 4. Rule made absolute in terms aforesaid. The petition is disposed of accordingly. 5. There shall be no order as to costs. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (J. H. BHATIA, J.)
