Judgment 1. Mr.S.Kumar, learned Additional Government Pleader takes notice for the respondent and by consent of both the parties, the main writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission. 2. Heard the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondent. 3. In this writ petition, the petitioner is seeking for a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondent to revoke the order of suspension dated 13.06.2014 and consequently to reinstate the petitioner with all consequential benefits. 4. It is seen that the petitioner who was working as a Police constable was placed under suspension on 13.06.2014, based on certain allegations. It is also seen that, pursuant to the said suspension order, a departmental enquiry was conducted and the Enquiry Officer has also submitted his enquiry report on 01.12.2014, and the petitioner was called upon to give his explanation to the said report through proceedings dated 18.12.2014. It appears that the petitioner has also given an explanation thereafter on 13.01.2015. 5. When that being the present state of affairs, this Court is not inclined to direct the respondent to revoke the suspension order passed against the petitioner and on the other hand, this Court is of the view, that it would suffice to direct the disciplinary proceedings to be completed without loss of any further delay. Accordingly, the respondent is directed to complete the disciplinary proceedings and pass final orders on the same and in accordance with law within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.
