Madurai: Taking cognizance of the fact that disciplinary proceedings had been initiated against a Tasmac shop supervisor on charges of selling liquor during lockdown, Madras high court directed the authorities to complete the same within two months. It was alleged that petitioner Kumar, supervisor at the Tasmac shop on West Pirathasanam Road in Karur district, was found trying to sell liquor despite Tasmac shops being asked to close since March 24, when Karur Town police conducted an inspection on April 10. A criminal case was registered based on which the Karur district manager of Tasmac suspended him from service. The petitioner claimed through his counsel that he was not on duty on April 10. However, the standing counsel for Tasmac Karur district manager submitted that disciplinary proceedings have already been initiated and a charge memo issued. Justice J Nisha Banu said it would suffice if the respondent is directed to complete the disciplinary proceedings within two months.
