THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 8539 of 1997 07-03-2007 Between:- A.Veerareddy and another. Petitioners And The District Collector (Housing), Executive Director, A.P. Housing Corporation Ltd., Ranga Reddy district, Hyderabad. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 8539 of 1997 Oral order: The writ petition is misconceived. The petitioners two in number challenge the proceedings dated 29-04- 1995 inflicting the penalty of stoppage of three annual grade increments with cumulative effect for the irregularities and lapses established against them. The petitioners entered the service of the Andhra Pradesh Housing Corporation Limited in August, 1985 and May, 1986 respectively as Work Inspectors and their services were regularized as such in terms of G.O.Ms.No.182 dated 13-11-1991. Prior to such regularization, petitioners were asked to work in Suraram Housing Colony during early 1991. In respect of alleged misconduct during that period, a charge Memo dated 08- 11-1994 was issued setting out four charges. Petitioners state to have submitted explanation on 05-12-1994. Petitioners asked for certain documents, which they claim were not supplied. Eventually a show cause notice dated 16-01-1995 was issued. Petitioners allege that no enquiry was conducted, no enquiry report was drawn up nor were they supplied any copy of an enquiry report. Petitioners submitted explanation on 27-01-1995 to the show cause notice dated 16-01-1995. Final orders dated 29-04-1995 were passed imposing the penalty of stoppage of three annual grade increments with cumulative effect. The petitioners allege that the penalty imposed is a major penalty, which could not have been inflicted without a regular process of enquiry. This is the substratum of the writ petition and the relief claimed herein. It needs be noticed that the Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation Limited is not a party to this writ petition. The sole respondent is described as: “The District Collector (Housing), Executive Director, A.P. Housing Corporation Ltd., Rangareddy Dist., Hyderabad.” For the aforesaid reason, as the Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation Limited the employer has not been impleaded as a party respondent to this writ petition, the writ petition is misconceived and misframed. No relief could be granted. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ____________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J Dated:07-03-2007 Pvks/*
