Bv Venkatesh v. State Of Ap

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAJASHEKER REDDY WRIT PETITON No.11498 OF 2018 ORDER:

This writ petition is filed challenging the proceedings dated 10.11.2017, wherein and whereby, the petitioner was suspended pending enquiry on certain allegations. By the same date a show cause notice dated 10.11.2017 was issued and the petitioner also submitted explanation on 21.11.2017, but as on today no orders are passed and the petitioner is being continued under suspension.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that keeping the petitioner under suspension from 10.11.2017 onwards, on trivial grounds is not warranted. He also submits that charges pertain to the year 2014 and show cause notice was issued in the year 2017.

Heard Sri MSR.Chandramurthy, learned Standing Counsel for respondents 2 and 3.

It is to be seen that since petitioner has already submitted explanation on 21.11.2017, the respondent authorities are directed to consider the same and pass orders within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If no order is passed within the stipulated time, the respondents shall reinstate the petitioner into service subject to further enquiry.

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.

As a sequel to the disposal of this petition, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed. ____________________________ A.RAJASHEKER REDDY, J 06.04.2018 tk
