Gokhale Institute of Politics & Economics – Suspension of Associate Professor Beyond Three Months
Judgment dated 5.8.2026 of the High Court of Bombay (AS) in Writ Petition Nos.8665 of 2026 of Dr.Dilip Kajale Vs. Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics and others with Writ Petition No.8677 of 2026 of Dr.Prakash Vankhade Vs. Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics and others
Gokhale Institute of Politics & Economics – Suspension of Associate Professors Beyond Three Months
By the impugned orders dated 17.10.2025, the petitioners were suspended and disciplinary inquiry was initiated against them. However, suspension was continued beyond three months.
the issue which has been raised by the Petitioners is whether the suspension order can extend beyond a period of three months in the event of the charge sheet not being issued and/or served on the delinquent officer/employee and there is no reasoned order passed for such extension of suspension during that period.
