In the circumstances, the Project Director-3rd respondent is directed to complete the enquiry against the petitioner and pass appropriate final orders in accordance with the Rules, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, failing which the order of suspension shall stand revoked.
