Petitioner and The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary, Home Department, Hyderabad, and others .... Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.2441 of 2010 ORDER: According to the petitioner, he is working as Junior Assistant in the office of the Superintendent of Railway Police, Vijayawada, Krishna District. While so, the Superintendent of Railway Police, Vijayawada, has issued a memo No.12/PR/2007 dated 09.02.2007 calling upon him to submit explanation for the charges framed against him, for which he submitted explanation on 14.08.2007. Thereafter, basing on the report of the Enquiry Officer, the Superintendent of Railway Police, issued a show cause notice on 04.04.2008 calling upon his explanation, for which also, he submitted explanation on 14.04.2008 explaining all the factual aspects. But to his surprise, the Superintendent of Railway Police, imposed punishment of compulsory retirement from service by proceedings in D.O.No.323/2008(C.No.12/OEPR/07) dated 30.07.2008. Questioning the same, he filed O.A.No.6961 of 2008 before the A.P.Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad, and the learned Tribunal was pleased to allow the same, by an order dated 01.05.2009, setting aside the impugned proceedings holding that that the charges levelled against him are not of serious nature and remitted back the matter to the disciplinary authority for disposal afresh. Accordingly, the Superintendent of Railway Police passed an order in proceedings C.No.12/OE/PR/2007 dated 09.07.2009 modifying the punishment of compulsory retirement to that of reinstatement into service afresh. As the Superintendent of Railway Police, Vijayawada, and the Enquiry Officer have unnecessarily harassed him without conducting proper enquiry, he made a representation dated 27.10.2009 to the respondent requesting to permit him to initiate legal action against them. Though three months have elapsed, the respondent has not taken any action so far. Being aggrieved by the same, he approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. 2. Having considered the submissions made by the counsel on either side and as the scope of the writ petition is very limited, without expressing any view, this Court directs the respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 27.10.2009 and pass necessary orders, at the earliest, preferably, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 3. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 8th February, 2010 cbs THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.2441 of 2010 (Disposed of) 8th February, 2010 CBS
