PETITIONER AND The A.P State Minorities Finance Corporation Limited, Hyderabad, rep., by its Chairman & Managing Director and three others ... RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 1238 OF 2002 ORDER: The petitioner, while working as a Development Officer in the Andhra Pradesh State Minorities Finance Corporation Limited, was subjected to disciplinary proceedings. In this regard, he was transferred from Vijayawada to Hyderabad under the proceedings dated 06-09-2001. He was placed under suspension by the respondent – Corporation under its proceedings dated 12-09-2001. The petitioner was called upon to attend the disciplinary enquiry by the Sub-Collector, Vijayawada who was appointed as the Enquiry Officer under notice dated 17-11-2001. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner approached this Court by way of the present writ petition challenging his transfer from Vijayawada to Hyderabad under proceedings dated 06-09-2001, his suspension from duty under proceedings dated 12-09- 2001 and also the appointment of the Enquiry Officer and the initiation of enquiry under the notice dated 17-11-2001. By order dated 25-01-2002, this Court directed interim stay of all further proceedings pursuant to the appointment of the Enquiry Officer under proceedings dated 10-09-2001. Thereafter, by order dated 17- 04-2002, a learned Judge of this Court suspended the operation of the proceedings dated 12-09-2001 placing the petitioner under suspension from duty. It appears that the respondent – Corporation filed Writ Appeal No. 1778 of 2002 aggrieved by the said direction, which was disposed of by order dated 05-03-2003 directing the writ petition to be heard on priority basis. It appears that in the meanwhile the respondent – Corporation moved a vacate stay petition in the writ petition vide WVMP No. 1547 of 2002. By order dated 07-08-2002, a learned Judge of this Court took note of the fact that the enquiry instituted against the petitioner had been completed and the enquiry report had already been submitted to the disciplinary authority and accordingly, vacated the interim stay of further proceedings granted earlier. It is now stated that pursuant to the disciplinary proceedings initiated against the petitioner, the disciplinary authority, being the Vice-Chairman-cum-Managing Director of the respondent – Corporation, passed orders in reference No.900/APSMFC/ADMN/AS/2001 dated 06-09-2003 imposing upon the petitioner the punishment of withholding of three annual increments without cumulative effect. It is further stated that the petitioner accepted the punishment imposed upon him as aforestated and is presently working on deputation elsewhere. In that view of the matter no further orders are required in this writ petition, which is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. SANJAY KUMAR, J 07-04-2010 ks
