In light of the submissions made at the Bar and without going into the merits of the case, the respondents are directed to conclude the enquiry, preferably, within a period of three months as per law from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. The petitioner shall cooperate in the enquiry. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is finally disposed of.
