Dr. K. Shankaraiah v. The State Of Telangana,

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI WRIT PETITION NO.5722 OF 2018 ORDER:

This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the 3rd respondent in issuing proceedings dated 14.02.2018 placing the petitioner under suspension as arbitrary, illegal, violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India, without jurisdiction and contrary to CCA Rules and sought a consequential direction to set aside the suspension order dated 14.02.2018 and reinstate the petitioner with all consequential benefits. Heard Sri L.V.S. Nagaraju, counsel for the petitioner, and Government Pleader for Services-III appearing for the respondents. It has been contended by the petitioner that he is working as Veterinary Assistant Surgeon and the 3rd respondent has placed the petitioner under suspension vide proceedings dated 14.02.2018.

Counsel for the petitioner contended that even though more than one and half years elapsed from the date of passing of the impugned suspension orders, the respondents are not reviewing the suspension orders nor initiated any disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner. Therefore, counsel for the petitioner contended that appropriate orders be passed in the writ petition directing the respondents to review the suspension orders dated 14.02.2018 strictly in terms of G.O.Ms.No.86 dated 08.03.1994.

Government Pleader appearing for the respondents had contended that the case of the petitioner would be considered and the respondents would review the suspension orders of the petitioner strictly in terms of G.O.Ms.No.86 dated 08.03.1994. This Court, having considered the submissions of learned counsel for respective parties, is of the considered view that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondents to review the suspension orders dated 14.02.2018 of the petitioner strictly in terms of G.O.Ms.No.86 dated 08.03.1994 and pass appropriate orders within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ______________________________ ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI, J 8th November, 2019 v v
