Mr.Manish Kumar (GP-4) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 11-04-2019 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State.

The petitioner has approached this Court seeking revocation of the order of suspension on the ground that despite the passage of statutory period for framing charge, no such charge has been framed against him.

However, from the perusal of Annexure- 8 to the writ petition, it appears that charges have been framed and have been communicated to the petitioner also for him to respond to the same.

Patna High Court CWJC No.5598 of 2019(2) dt.11-04-2019 2/2 In that view of the matter, the prayer of the petitioner for revocation of suspension is not tenable. However, it is expected that if the process of domestic enquiry has commenced, it must be taken to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time, preferably within a period of six months from the date of production/communication of a copy of this order. With the aforesaid observation / direction, this writ petition stands disposed off.
