In view of the above and having considered the facts and circumstances of the case as well as the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court do not find any good reason to interfere with the impugned suspension order. 7. However, the instant petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to take a decision, whether charge sheet is to be issued against the petitioner in furtherance of the suspension order within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
If the charge sheet is issued within the said period, it is expected that the respondents shall conclude the disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner as expeditiously as possible without any undue delay subject to cooperation of the petitioner. 8. In case the respondents fail to take the decision within the stipulated period on receipt of a certified copy of this order and no further proceedings is initiated, the impugned suspension order shall stand revoked automatically, after expiry of four weeks.
