THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.3152 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed being aggrieved by the order dated 3.2.2007 passed by the Respondent, whereunder the petitioner was placed under suspension pending a detailed enquiry into certain allegations made against him. Having heard the learned counsel for petitioner, I am of the view that suspension pending enquiry is not a punishment. It enables the authorities to conduct a fair enquiry into the matter. No extraordinary ground is made out, such as jurisdiction nor any malafides are attributed against the respondent, to interfere with the impugned order. The writ petition is devoid of merits and liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. However, the Respondent is directed to complete the enquiry within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 20.2.2007 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.3152 of 2007 20.2.2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.3152 of 2007 Date: 20th February, 2007 Between: G.Chandra Mouli ..
