J U D G M E N T

The petitioner is aggrieved with the fact that the petitioner has been suspended on allegations of mis-conduct and the disciplinary proceedings have reached nowhere. The petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that the petitioner's suspension is continued for over 11⁄2 years.

2.

The learned Standing Counsel for the respondent has filed an affidavit clearly undertaking that the disciplinary enquiry will be completed within a period of three months from the date of this judgment. If the same is not completed, then, necessarily the petitioner will have to be reinstated in service, without prejudice to the continuance of the disciplinary proceedings. The petitioner shall co-operate with the disciplinary enquiry. The writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
