THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.68 of 2006 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the order passed by the respondent in proceedings No.02/95(29)/2005- SRD dated 10.11.2005 and proceedings No.Dy.S(P)/785(32)/2005- SRD dated 22.12.2005 as arbitrary, illegal and violative of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India. Under the impugned proceedings dated 22.12.2005, petitioner was placed under suspension pending enquiry against him. It is the contention of the learned counsel for petitioner that after conducting enquiry, petitioner was issued with show cause notice of removal on 25.7.2006. Thus, the enquiry was practically completed even before 25.7.2006. However, petitioner was neither reinstated into service nor any final orders are passed till date. This may cause prejudice to the interest of the petitioner. In fact, there was no necessity of keeping the petitioner under suspension. If nothing was proved against the petitioner, he could have been reinstated into service immediately. Instead of doing so, the respondents kept the petitioner under suspension for more than one and half years without any cause whatsoever. The above facts are not in dispute. Since the respondents have not taken any final decision after issuing show cause notice dated 25.7.2006 for more than (18) months, it must be construed that there is no necessity of keeping the petitioner under suspension, therefore, the respondents are directed to reinstate the petitioner into service forthwith. However, this will not preclude the respondents from taking action against the petitioner, as per law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 29.1.2008 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.68 of 2006 29.1.2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.
