The Goa Bench of Bombay High Court has given three months time to state police to complete departmental inquiry against sub inspector Nerlon Albuquerque, accused of “shoddy probe” in the Scarlett death case.
The Division Bench yesterday asked the police to finish departmental inquiry against the sub inspector by November 30.
Albuquerque was heading Anjuna police station when British teenager Scarlett Eden Keeling’s body was found on the shore on February 18 last year.
He was charged with shoddy probe into the matter and was suspended from services in March last year. Subsequently he was dismissed from services.
Albuquerque had challenged his dismissal in the High Court pleading that he was not given the hearing before deciding on dismissal.
The state police had submitted to the court that inquiry against Albuquerque was still on.
