Gopinath, J:

When the writ appeal came up for admission today, the learned counsel for

the appellant submits that the writ appeal had been filed to obtain an order for

reinstatement of the appellant who was under orders of suspension, before the

date of his retirement. He submits that the appellant has retired on 31-05-2021

and therefore the writ appeal may be dismissed as withdrawn. In the nature of

the disputes raised and taking note of the subsequent events, we deem it

appropriate to direct the Assistant Educational Officer, the 6 th respondent to

complete the enquiry against the appellant within a period of 6 weeks from

today, in modification of the time granted by the learned Single Judge. No other

orders are required to be passed in view of the submission of the learned counsel

for the appellant. Writ appeal will stand closed with the above direction.
