| WPSS No. 2393 of 2019 Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J. |
|||
| Mr. Lokendra Dobhal, learned |
|||
counsel for the petitioner. |
|||
| Mr. P.S. Bisht, learned Additional | |||
C.S.C. for the State of Uttarakhand. |
|||
| Petitioner is serving as Deputy |
|||
| Education Officer in the Education |
|||
| Department. In this writ petition, |
|||
| petitioner has challenged the order dated | |||
| 09.08.2019 passed by in-charge Chief | |||
| Education Officer, Tehri, whereby he was | |||
| put under suspension in respect of a | |||
| charge. | |||
| Mr. Lokendra Dobhal, learned |
|||
| counsel appearing for petitioner has |
|||
| produced in Court an order dated |
|||
| 28.11.2019 passed by Secretary, |
|||
| Secondary Education Department, |
|||
| Uttarakhand. The same is taken on record. Perusal of the said order reveals that |
|||
| order of suspension passed against |
|||
| petitioner was revoked on 28.11.2019. | |||
| Learned counsel for petitioner has also produced an order dated 10.01.2020 |
|||
| passed by Deputy Secretary, Secondary |
| Education, Government of Uttarakhand. |
|---|
| The same is kept part of the record. |
| Perusal of the said order indicates |
| that in the departmental enquiry initiated |
| against the petitioner, nothing was found |
| against petitioner and he was given clean chit in the departmental enquiry. In such view of the matter, no useful |
| purpose would be served by keeping this |
| writ petition pending. Since suspension |
| order has been revoked by the State |
| Government, therefore, writ petition is |
| dismissed as infructuous. Interim order |
| dated 17.10.2019 stands vacated. (Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J.) 06.07.2022 Aswal |
