THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.18147 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner was working as Mechanic in the Armoor Depot of APSRTC. The Depot Manager issued order, dated 08.08.2008, placing the petitioner under suspension. On the same day, a charge sheet was also served upon the petitioner. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the order of suspension. It is pleaded that the charges levelled against the petitioner are trivial in nature and the same do not warrant suspension pending enquiry. The respondents filed a counter-affidavit, raising objection as to the very maintainability of the writ petition. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. While admitting the writ petition, this Court suspended the order, dated 08.08.2008, through which, the petitioner was placed under suspension. The same resulted in the petitioner continuing in service. It is brought to the notice of this Court by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the enquiry had been proceeded with, and an order was passed imposing the punishment of stoppage of one increment against the petitioner. Once the disciplinary proceedings have come to an end, the suspension pending enquiry ceases to be operative. The Writ Petition is accordingly closed. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.24.06.2010. GJ
