Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:115373 Court No. - 52 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 9704 of 2025 Petitioner :- Mohammad Sajid Hasani Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Shyam Lal Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Shashi Kant Srivastava Hon'ble Mrs. Manju Rani Chauhan,J. The petitioner is an Incharge Headmaster in Primary School Tanda Chhatrapati, Block-Pooranpur, District Pilibhit. He has been placed under suspension on various allegations of slackness in discharge of his duties, levelled in the complaint dated 30.04.2025. It is a trite law that the suspension is not a punishment. The Supreme Court in the case of Public Services Tribunal Bar Association Vs. State of U.P. and another, (2003) 4 SCC 104, has held that ordinarily the High Court should not stay suspension, transfer and termination orders. The learned Counsel for the petitioner has failed to satisfy the Court that the suspension order has been passed in violation of any rule or is based on malafide. Accordingly, no interference is called for. The writ petition is disposed of with a direction upon the third respondent to complete the disciplinary proceedings expeditiously, preferably within a period of one month subject to cooperation of the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. Order Date :- 16.7.2025 DS Digitally signed by :- DIGAMBER SINGH High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
