BASUDEB MALLICK Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner is aggrieved by order dated 22nd May, 2014 passed by the learned Tribunal in O.A. No. 609 of 2014.

(2.) LEARNED Counsel for the petitioner submits that, in the meantime, notice has been issued upon his client to appear before the disciplinary authority on 4th June, 2014. He submits that such action, in fact, renders the prayer for interim relief infructuous before the Tribunal.

(3.) HAVING heard the submission of the respective parties, we are of the opinion that the petitioner shall be at liberty to participate in the disciplinary proceeding without prejudice to his rights and contentions before the Tribunal, including the prayer for interim relief. He shall also be at liberty to pray for preponement of the date of hearing on the point of interim relief before the Tribunal. If such prayer is made, the Tribunal is requested to consider the same favourably subject to its convenience.
