JUDGMENT Shri Gupta seeks time for filing return. Shri Jain opposes the prayer and draws our attention to the order of this Court dated 19.1.1994 whereby last opportunity was granted to the respondents to file return. In view of the order of this Court dated 19.1.1994 no further adjournment can be granted to the respondents, hence, prayer for grant of time is, rejected. Let State should suffer for its inaction and negligence. The petitioner has made two grievances in this petition-the appointment of the petitioner as Secretary was made by the State Government, therefore, the Director of Mandis is not empowered to suspend the petitioner. The other contention is that as no charge-sheet has been issued within 90 days as provided under rule 9 of M.P. Civil Services (Classification, Control & Appeal) Rules, 1988, therefore, the suspension stands automatically revoked, For that reliance was placed on a Short-Noted decision of this Court reported in S.K Shrivastava v. State of M.P. (1983 MPWN 42). It is not necessary for us to deal with the first contention raised by Shri Jain as, in our opinion, the suspension order issued now cannot be sustained in view of Rule 9 (2) of the aforesaid rules as admittedly no charge-sheet has been issued to the petitioner. Therefore, the suspension order is quashed. However, the respondent shall be free to take disciplinary action after issue of the charge-sheet and also shall be at liberty to take appropriate action 10 suspend the petitioner in accordance with law, if so advised. Petition is disposed of but no order as to costs. 1983 MPWN 42 relied on.
