done and regular enquiry had been dispensed with on the ground of possibility of witnesses likely to be unduly harassedor pressurized by the In delinquent(s). In all the case FIRs, chargesheet had been filed, list of witnesses had been filed, a few witnesses had been examined or after tiral the accused(s) had been acquitted. In a few cases, the reason for dispensing with the enquiry had been given that the material had come on record to prove the criminal acts of the applicants. The reason had been also of threat to discipline, integrity and morality of the entire police force. On perusal of the impugned orders, it is evident that either the authorities have passed the orders of dispensing with the enquiry on jumping to the conclusion that delinquency or guilt of the applicants as alleged in the case FIRs stood proved even without regular enquiry in the departmental proceedings or trial in the concerned learned court(s). In most of the cases, conclusion about delinquency and commission of the offence(s) by the applicant(s) had been arrived merely on the basis of the preliminary inquiry report/investigation conducted by them and a copy of which had not been provided to them. In none of the aforesaid cases, there was any evidence/material before the authorities as evident from the impugned orders nor as such had been brought before us, to indicate that the applicants were having terror in their area-and/or were having link with the terrorist(s) and they were involved in any case of espionage. Nothing has been recorded in the order(s) or shown to us that the applicant(s) had ever threatened or harassed any of the witness(es) and/or the prospective witness(es). There is no evidence or document to indicate that in view of the facts and circumstances of the case(s), any efforts was made to summon the witness(es) to lead the evidence against the applicant(s) or anything was found that on regular enquiry or by summoning the witness(es) the relation with foreign countries was likely to be adversely affected. In the impugned order(s), the respondents have not disclosed that any effort was made by them to conduct the enquiry nor there is any evidence that in spite of their efforts, they had not been able to produce the witness(es) to lead evidence against the applicant(s). Rather the respondents have themselves filed the final challan(s)
