PERMOD KOHLI, J. (Oral):
This petition has been directed against the order dated
03.12.2008 (Annexure P-9) whereby the prayer for interim relief has
been rejected by the Financial Commissioner and Principal Secretary to
Government, Haryana, Development and Panchayat Department,
Chandigarh, in the appeal filed by the petitioner against the order
dated 21.11.2008 passed by the Deputy Commissioner, Gurgaon,
placing the petitioner under suspension.
It is the admitted case of the parties that the appeal is still
pending. This Court vide interim order dated 05.12.2008 stayed the
suspension of the petitioner while issuing notice of motion. Since the
CWP No.20509 of 2008 -2 –
appeal against the order of suspension is pending before the Competent
Authority, it is not deemed appropriate to decide the issue in this
petition at this stage.
In view of the above circumstances, this petition is
disposed of with a direction to the Appellate Authority to decide the
appeal within a period of three months from today and till then the
interim direction passed by this Court on 05.12.2008 shall remain in
operation.
