THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 10611 of 2010 O R D E R: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent Corporation. In this Writ Petition, the petitioner, who is working as Deputy Superintendent in the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (for short, the Corporation’), questions the order of suspension dated 15.03.2010. By the aforesaid order, the petitioner was placed under suspension, pending enquiry. A perusal of the impugned order shows that an allegation is made against the petitioner to the effect that he collected rent amounts at Rs.22,842/- unauthorizedly from the liencees of the stalls situated at Husnabad Depot and issued unused money receipts and that he failed to remit the said amount and thereby committed misappropriation of the revenue of the Corporation. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner collected the above said amount in the presence of the clerks concerned and the same was accepted with penalty and in that view of the mater, it cannot be construed as a grave misconduct. At the outset, it is to be noted that the impugned order is one for suspension pending enquiry. The allegation levelled against the petitioner is serious in nature. Therefore, it cannot be said it is not a grave allegation. The question as to whether he is authorized and competent to collect the amount and to issue the receipts therefor, is a matter for consideration during the course of enquiry by the competent authority. This Court cannot go into all those details and record a finding particularly when an enquiry is pending into the allegations against the petitioner. In that view of the matter, I do not find any merit in this Writ Petition, but however, since the enquiry is pending, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to conclude the same within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, failing which, the respondents shall consider to review the order of suspension and intimate the same to the petitioner. With this, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ---------------------------- (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) 30th April 2010 ksld
