At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioners. Learned Government Pleader for Municipal Administration invited my attention to the averments in the counter-affidavit filed by the Assistant Secretary to Government, G.A. (V&E) Department and submitted that after considering the report submitted by respondent No.5, Government initiated disciplinary action against respondent Nos.9 and 10. It is further submitted that though respondent No.10 retired, the disciplinary proceedings are being continued against him. He also submitted that respondent No.9 is placed under suspension and that Government will complete the disciplinary proceedings in another three months’ time. Having considered the averments of the counter-affidavit and the abovementioned submissions of the learned Government Pleader, I am satisfied that respondent No.1 had taken appropriate action against respondent Nos.9 and 10 and therefore the grievance of the petitioners in the writ petition no longer exists. The writ petition is therefore disposed of. Respondent No.1 is directed to complete the disciplinary proceedings within a period of three months from today as held out by the learned Government Pleader. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.16951 of 2006 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 14.02.2008 ES
