THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.23644 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was working as an Assistant Manager (Personnel) in Midhani Depot, APSRTC. A trap was laid by the ACB on 28.08.2008 and on finding that the petitioner had received illegal gratification, a case was registered and the same is pending as C.C.No.5 of 2010 before the Principal Special Judge for SPE & ACB Cases, Hyderabad. On its part, the Corporation placed the petitioner under suspension though order, dated 29.08.2008. The petitioner states that though charge sheet was filed in the criminal case, there is no substantial progress and the representation made by him for revocation of suspension is not being considered. He contends that his left over service is only nine months and unless the order of suspension is reviewed, he would be put to serious hardship. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents. Suspension of the petitioner was on the basis of a trap laid by the ACB. The case is pending trial before the Principal Special Judge for SPE & ACB Cases, Hyderabad. The Government issued G.O.Ms.No.86, General Administration (Service-C) Department, dated 08.03.1994, directing that in matter of this nature, the desirability or otherwise of the suspension shall be reviewed at the end of every six months. This rule does not find place in the regulations framed by the Corporation. All the same, in case the ACB has expressed any opinion to the Corporation as to the necessity or desirability of review of the order of suspension, necessary steps need to be taken. Even otherwise, the case pending against the petitioner deserves to be attended to expeditiously, since his leftover service is less than one year. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that – (a) In case, the competent authority of the ACB has addressed any letter to the Corporation to review the suspension ordered against the petitioner, necessary orders thereon shall be passed, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order; and (b) The Principal Special Judge for SPE & ACB Cases, Hyderabad, shall consider the feasibility of disposing of C.C.No.5 of 2010 instituted against the petitioner expeditiously, preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDD Date:24.09.2010 Note: Issue CC in one week. (b/o) VGB
