HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.22851 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as Field Assistant under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (N.R.E.G.S.) for Raghavapur Village of Yalal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. The 1st respondent issued proceedings dated 28.7.2011 placing the petitioner under suspension on the allegation that the petitioner has drawn the wages for the persons who left the villages, dead persons, married women, who left the village and even of a student of Engineering. A direction was also issued for recovery of the misappropriated amount. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the said order. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner is under the impression that the 1st respondent has removed him from service through the impugned order. However, it is evident that the impugned order is only one of suspension pending enquiry. It is in the course of time that the petitioner would be issued charge sheet and enquiry will be conducted. Even while placing the petitioner under suspension, the 1st respondent had directed for recovery of the amount. Such a course is impermissible in law. Hence, the writ petition is partly allowed leaving it open to the respondents to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner and by directing that no amount shall be recovered from him until final orders are passed in the enquiry. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY,J DATE: 12th August, 2011 pnb
