              Dated this the 15th October,2009

                       J U D G M E N T

Petitioner, a Basket Ball Coach in the Kerala State

Sports Council, was placed under suspension following

allegations of misconduct allegedly raised by certain

students who are players in the team coached by him. It

seems that a preliminary enquiry was conducted by the

Finance Member of the Sports Council. A copy of the

report has been placed before me and it shows that prima

face case has been found against the petitioner. The said

report is dated 6.4.2009.

2. Learned counsel for the Sports Council submits

that the Council has decided to conduct further a detailed

enquiry. An Enquiry Officer was appointed in May, 2009.

But it is now more than five months, enquiry has not been

proceeded with. It is only appropriate that the

disciplinary action against the petitioner now called upon

later and decided to be conducted, shall be completed,

within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of

W.P ( C) No.26297 of 2009
2

this judgment. If disciplinary action is not completed

within the said period then the petitioner shall be

reinstated in service, without prejudice to the continuance

of the disciplinary action as such.

Writ petition is disposed of as above.
