Holding
The petition was dismissed as infructuous because the suspension order was stayed and the disciplinary proceedings were already concluded.
Summary
The petitioner, Anil Kumar, filed a writ petition challenging a suspension order dated 29 July 2010. The respondent State filed a counter‑affidavit stating that the disciplinary proceedings had concluded on 19 November 2010, exonerating the petitioner on two charges and finding indiscipline on only one charge. The court observed that the suspension order had already been stayed and the disciplinary process was completed, rendering the petition moot. Consequently, the court held that the petition had become infructuous due to the passage of time. The petition was therefore dismissed as infructuous.
