V/S
STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH THROUGH THE SECRETARY, HOME DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF U.P. LUCKNOW Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioners have directed these petitions under Article 226 ot the Constitution feeling aggrieved by the order of suspension dated 13-12-83 passed by Surperintendent of Police, Hardoi.

(2.) WE provided opportunity to the State Counsel and operation of the order had been stayed vide order dated 9-4-84.

(3.) THE procedure provided in U. P. Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules would not therefore apply to departmental trial of a police officer under section 7 of the Police Act. THE submissions of the learned counsel for State, therefore, is devoid of merits. We are fortified in our view by decisions of this court in Mewa Ram Ram Charan v. United Provinces, AIR 1954 Alld. 487 and Muktiar Singh v. State, AIR 1959 Alld. 569.
