     NOTES FOR EXCISE PRACTITIONERS:

     1. This is NOT an amnesty or closure — both officers face active criminal prosecution and departmental inquiry.

     2. License implications: No indication that the suspension of these officers affects existing licenses, permits, or departmental functions during their suspension period.

     3. Posting change is significant — Anchuley moves from presumed Mumbai office to Dhule; Dhanshetti moves to border post, possibly indicating role-specific reassignment pending case outcome.

     4. Timeline: From FIR (19.02.2015) → Arrest (19.02.2015) → Court approval to prosecute (12.01.2016) → Departmental inquiry (21.04.2016) → Reinstatement (02.07.2016) = approximately 17 months in suspension.
