THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 24995 of 2009 Date: 18.11.2009 Between: K.Lakshmi Devi, Kurnool District. … Petitioner And The District Collector/District Project Co-Coordinator, NREGS, Kurnool and another. … Respondents. THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 24995 of 2009 O R D E R: Heard both sides. The petitioner herein is working as Technical Assistant in connection with the implementation of NREGS programme in Veldurthi Village and Mandal, Kurnool District. On the basis of allegations of misappropriation of Government funds, the petitioner was placed under suspension pending enquiry by the 1st respondent vide proceedings dated 18.07.2008. This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the 1st respondent in continuing the petitioner under suspension pursuant to the above said order dated 18.07.2008 even though it was found in the enquiry that the petitioner was not guilty of the alleged misappropriation is arbitrary and illegal. It is the specific case of the petitioner that the Enquiry Officer has submitted a report dated 28.01.2009 holding that the allegations against the petitioner are unfounded. It is also brought to my notice that in identical circumstances, W.P.No.18284 of 2009 was disposed of by this Court by order dated 09.09.2009 directing the 1st respondent to pass appropriate orders taking into consideration the report dated 28.01.2009 within a period of six weeks. The fact that the petitioner is also similarly situated has not been disputed by the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to pass appropriate orders taking into consideration the report, dated 28.01.2009, submitted by the Enquiry Officer, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of this order, failing which, the order of suspension pending enquiry dated 18.07.2008 shall stand set aside. No costs. _____________ G.ROHINI,J Date: 18.11.2009 KLP
