O R D E R

This writ petition has been filed challenging the order passed by the respondent, suspending the petitioner from service pending enquiry into the grave charges. This order was passed on 29.08.2019.

2.

The case of the petitioner is that he was regularized in the post of Night Watchman in the year 2012. A suspension order came to be issued against the petitioner on 29.08.2019 in contemplation of enquiry into grave charges. The grievance of the petitioner is that the suspension is continuing beyond the period of three months inspite of the fact that there is no criminal case that has been filed against the petitioner. Therefore, according to the petitioner, the continuation of suspension is illegal and it requires interference of this Court.
