THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 18020 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was employed in the Andhra Pradesh Civil Supplies Corporation Limited. Through proceedings, dated 18.01.2010, the Vice Chairman and Managing Director of the Corporation placed the petitioner under suspension on the ground that he was arrested on 21.12.2009 at his residence at Kadapa and was produced before the Special Judge for A.C.B. cases, Nellore and that he remained under arrest for more than 48 hours. The petitioner challenges the said order. Respondent No.2 filed a counter-affidavit stating that the suspension of the petitioner was warranted in view of his arrest in connection with an A.C.B. case. The allegation against the petitioner is that he possessed assets disproportionate to his known sources of income. The petitioner is being paid the subsistence allowance. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner challenges the order of suspension passed against him. The necessity for this Court to examine the legality or otherwise thereof is obviated on account of the fact that the petitioner has attained the age of superannuation on 30.06.2011. Even if any defect is found in the order of suspension, he cannot be reinstated at this stage. The petitioner has to face the prosecution that is launched against him and if he has got any independent grievance, such as extension of retirement benefits, he has to initiate separate proceedings. Hence, the writ is dismissed as infructuous, leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue remedies vis-à-vis the other service conditions. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:10.10.2011 kdl
