Seeking a direction to the Tribunal for disposal of O.A.No.1304 of 2006 pending before it as expeditiously as possible, the present writ petition is filed. The petitioner, a Deputy Tahsildar (under suspension), filed O.A.No.1304 of 2006 before the Tribunal seeking a direction to set aside the order, dated 26.02.2006, suspending him from the post of Deputy Tahsildar. Learned Government Pleader for Services-II, on instructions, would submit that there is a serious allegation against him of defalcation of 260 bags of rice meant for the public distribution system. While Smt. Sofia Begum, learned counsel for the petitioner, disputes this fact, these are all matters of enquiry and not for this Court to examine. The learned Government Pleader informs that an Enquiry Officer has already been appointed and places before this Court a copy of the letter addressed to him by the District Collector, Mahaboobnagar, dated 08.09.2006, wherein it is stated that it would take another four months to finalise the disciplinary enquiry. Taking note of the statement made in the said letter, dated 08.09.2006, both the writ petition and O.A. are disposed of directing that the enquiry against the petitioner shall be completed within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. ______________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) 11th SEPTEMBER, 2006. ______________________________ (RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J) kvni
