Court No. - 6
Case :- WRIT - A No. - 25213 of 2018 Petitioner :- Om Prakash Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 4 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Ram Autar Verma Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.
Hon'ble Yashwant Varma,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel.
This petition assails an order of suspension in terms of which disciplinary proceedings have been initiated on the respondents finding the petitioner being in a state of intoxication while on duty. While learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently contended that the petitioner was not intoxicated, this assertion cannot possibly be evaluated by this Court since it will form part of the disciplinary proceedings, which are yet to commence. The further submission of learned counsel that there is no prohibition against the petitioner drinking while on duty is noticed only to be rejected bearing in mind the provisions of the conduct Rules.
The petition is misconceived and is dismissed.
