Instant writ petitions have been listed in the ‘Orders Category’ on the misc. applications for early hearing, however with consent of learned counsel for both parties, the writ petitions have been heard finally on merits and would stand decided by this common order. 2. It appears that all three petitioners were placed under suspension vide common order dated 06.05.2022, apparently on the basis of audit objection for year 2017-18 to 2020–2021 in respect of Block Office, Jaisalmer Sam, Sankra. 3. In the writ petitions, challenge to the suspension orders was made fundamentally on the ground that no charge-sheets were issued to the petitioners. In that view of matter, the suspension orders were stayed by the Coordinate Bench of this Court vide orders dated 18.05.2022 in SBCWP No.7343/2022 (Hemant Saini Vs. State of Rajasthan) and 25.05.2022 in SBCWP No.7750/2022 (Chutra Ram Vs. State of Rajasthan) and SBCWP No. 7755/2022 (Bhawani Singh Charan Vs. State of Rajasthan). 4. It is noteworthy that in pursuance of interim stay orders, petitioners have been reinstated in service and presently, are serving with the respondents. 5. It is further undisputed that for the alleged allegations, charge-sheets have also been served upon the petitioners at later stage. 6. Learned counsels for both the parties admit that the inquiry, pursuant to the charge-sheets, has been proceeded and virtually stands concluded, since same is pending at the stage of final decision by the Disciplinary Authority.
