ANTONY MUKKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 20/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 31628 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 20th day of January, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioners in this writ petition are aggrieved by their suspension. According to them, they were suspended by Ext. P1 order dated 13.1.2010. Although a year is over, the petitioners are being continued under suspension and at the same time, no further proceedings have bee taken in the disciplinary proceedings. The petitioners therefore seek the following reliefs: “i. Call for the records leading to Ext. P1 and P17 and quash the same by the issue in the nature of writ of certiorari or any other appropriate writ or order insofar as it relates to the petitioners; ii. Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the 1st respondent to revoke the order of suspension and reinstate the petitioners in service by giving them a posting.” After hearing the learned Government Pleader, I am of opinion that having suspended the petitioners, the respondents should take the disciplinary proceedings to its logical conclusion, expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to complete the disciplinary proceedings and take the same to its logical conclusion as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
