JUDGMENT

(Judgment of the Court was made by The Hon'ble The Chief Justice) For the reasons best known, the appellant authority does not want to conclude the disciplinary proceedings under the pretext that the criminal case is pending. This plea is completely contrary to what is normally pleaded by the Government authorities, when the respondent relied on the judgment of the Apex Court in Paul Antony's case. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

2.All that the learned single Judge directed is that the enquiry should be concluded in a time bound manner and to avoid giving effect to it, the present appeal has been filed.

3.The appeal is completely meritless. Hence, it is dismissed with a cost of Rs.3,000/- (Rupees three thousand only) payable to the respondent. No costs. Consequently, C.M.P(MD)No.656 of 2016 is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(Writs) /True copy/ Sub AssistantRegistrar To 1.The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Madurai Region, Madurai.
