THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.2050 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed being aggrieved by the orders passed by the first respondent vide proceedings dated 26.12.2005, whereunder the petitioner was placed under suspension pending enquiry in public interest. It is the contention of the learned counsel for petitioner that earlier when the petitioner was placed under suspension, he filed W.P.No.24892 of 2005. This Court, by order dated 23.12.2005 while suspending the suspension order, directed the respondents to reconsider the matter afresh in accordance with law and take an appropriate decision. Now the grievance of the petitioner is that pursuant to the order of this Court, petitioner was reinstated into service on 26.12.2005 and on the very same day, the impugned order was passed placing the petitioner under suspension, which is arbitrary and illegal. The learned counsel further states that by passing reinstatement order as well as the impugned order placing the petitioner under suspension on the very same day, does not mean that the respondents have in fact complied with the orders of this Court. It is unfortunate that the petitioner did not take steps immediately challenging the said proceedings dated 26.12.2005. Now it is more than fourteen months since the impugned order is passed. There is no dispute that the authorities are empowered to suspend the petitioner from service in given circumstances. In view of the above, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to complete the enquiry contemplated against the petitioner through impugned proceedings, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, if not already completed, failing which the petitioner shall be reinstated into service. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 6.2.2007 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.2050 of 2007 6.2.2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.2050 of 2007 Date: 6th February, 2006 Between: P.Ratnabhushana Rao ..
