1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.6057/2007 Haji Guljar Khan Vs. State of Raj. & Ors. DATE OF ORDER :: 24.09.2007 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. Rakesh Arora, for the petitioners. Mr. Sunil Mehta, for the respondents. .... By this petition for writ a direction is sought by the petitioner for respondents not to place the petitioner under suspension while exercising powers under Section 63(4) of the Rajasthan Municipalities Act, 1959. The petitioner is Vice President of Municipal Board, Nagaur and according to counsel for the petitioner the respondent No.4, the State Minister for Energy, Government of Rajasthan by letter dated 10.5.2007 recommended the Minister of Local Self Government to place the petitioner under suspension, therefore, the State Government may place under suspension for extraneous consideration. The letter dated 10.5.2007 is available on record as Annexure-1A. It is true that a note is made and the letter referred above to hold a preliminary inquiry against the petitioner and then to initiate proceedings for his suspension but the Minister for Local Self Government after receiving the letter aforesaid instructed the competent authorities of Local Self Government to seek necessary details. Merely on basis of a recommendation by the respondents No.4 to hold a preliminary inquiry against the certain 2 allegations and to initiate proceedings to place under suspension no inference can be drawn that the State will act maliciously or with extraneous considerations. In the instant matter no order of suspension has yet been passed and in totality of circumstances at this stage the allegations of malafides are wholly unfounded. In view of whatever discussed above I do not find any merit in the writ petition, therefore, the same is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR ),J. jgoyal
