Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.V.V.L.N.SARMA Counsel for the Respondent No.: O.MANOHAR REDDY(SC FOR APTRANSCO) The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 22698 of 2008 O R D E R : This writ petition is ﬁled seeking a declaration that the order passed by the ﬁrst respondent dated 27-02- 2008 suspending the licence granted to the petitioner under the provisions of the A.P. Electrical Licensing Regulations 1987, forthwith and also calling upon him to show cause as to why further proceedings should not be taken is arbitrary and illegal. Though various contentions have been raised assailing the impugned order of suspension, having regard to the fact that the suspension of the lcience is only pending enquiry and the petitioner has also submitted his explanation long back, I am not inclined to express any opinion on merits. Instead, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the enquiry initiated against the petitioner under the impugned proceedings following due process of law and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 18-10-2008 KLP
