Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:37783 Court No. - 4 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 3218 of 2025 Petitioner :- Pappu Yadav Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Ashok Kumar Rai,Narendra Pratap Singh Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Ajit Kumar,J. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the records. By means of this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution, petitioner has assailed the order dated 4th January, 2025 on the plea that he had borrowed loan from his maternal uncle for raising construction with regard to his house and when he could not return the money his maternal uncle falsely made allegations that he had taken money to get his son appointed in service. In the considered view of the Court, this above submission amounts to defence and it can only be trusted after the evidence led by the petitioner stands proved in a domestic inquiry which may be held in the matter otherwise the charges are serious enough to be investigated. Therefore, I decline to grant indulgence in the matter at this stage. However, since the suspension order carries the charges also, it is expected that the respondents would be serving a duly approved charge sheet upon the petitioner within a period of three weeks from the date of presentation of certified copy of this order, to which petitioner would be submitting reply in next two weeks' time. After the petitioner submits reply, departmental inquiry shall be held in the matter giving due participation to the petitioner and the same should be completed within a further period of 30 days. After the departmental inquiry is concluded, the disciplinary proceedings shall be brought to its logical end within the next one month's time in full compliance of principles of natural justice and in the meanwhile so long as the petitioner remains under suspension, he shall continuously be paid subsistence allowance.
It is further provided that in the event disciplinary proceeding is not concluded within the time prescribed herein above despite due participation and cooperation of the petitioner, the order of suspension of the petitioner dated 4th January, 2015 shall stand revoked.
