                   W.P.(C) No.34801 OF 2010
               ---------------------------------------
           Dated this the 14th day of December, 2010
                           JUDGMENT

The petitioner has been suspended by Ext.P7 order dated

4.11.2010. The petitioner is challenging such suspension order.

I am not inclined to interfere with the suspension order at this

point of time. However, having initiated disciplinary proceedings

against the petitioner, the respondents should take it to its logical

conclusion within a reasonable time.

2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel for the

Municipality also.

Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with

a direction to respondents 2 and 3 to complete the disciplinary

proceedings initiated against the petitioner as expeditiously as

possible, at any rate, within four months from the date of receipt

of a copy of this judgment. In the meanwhile, the petitioner may

file a petition for review of the suspension order which shall be

considered and orders passed by the appropriate authority within

one month from the date of receipt of the same.
