Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:77892 Court No. - 4 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 6524 of 2025 Petitioner :- Deepak Dwivedi Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 6 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Akhilesh Kumar Tiwari,Ashish Tripathi Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Ajit Kumar,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the State respondents. By means of this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution, petitioner has prayed for quashing of the suspension order dated 17th April, 2025 on the basis of pleadings raised in paragraph 28 of the writ petition. Looking to the allegations that have been made and the fact that even previously petitioner was placed under suspension for permitting illegal construction activity upon Government land and that fact that he repeated such conduct in permitting the construction in 2020 as well and further he has been found involved in making certain entries in khatauni/ revenue record which have been ultimately found to be forged and fraudulent one, I consider it more appropriate for the petitioner to put up his defence before inquiry officer. However, in the given facts and circumstances of the case, I consider it appropriate to direct for expeditious disposal of the disciplinary proceedings. In view of the above, this petition stands disposed of with a direction to the disciplinary authority to dispose of the pending disciplinary proceedings as a sequel to the order of suspension dated 17th April, 2025 within a maximum period of three months from the date of production of certified copy of this order provided petitioner cooperates. It is further provided that petitioner shall cooperate in the disciplinary proceedings and during the period he remains under suspension he shall be paid subsistence allowance. However, in the event disciplinary proceedings do not stand concluded despite cooperation extended by the petitioner, the order of suspension shall stand revoked and petitioner shall be entitled to reinstatement with payment of salary.
