THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 17326 OF 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner is appointed as Technical Assistant, under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, in Porumamilla Mandal of Kadapa District. Vide orders, dated 16.12.2007, the 1st respondent placed the petitioner under suspension, on certain allegations. The grievance of the petitioner is that though nearly 8 months have elapsed, the disciplinary proceedings were not concluded, and he is put to hardship, on account of continued suspension. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The appointment of the petitioner is on contractual basis. On noticing certain alleged irregularities, the 1st respondent placed the petitioner under suspension. The impugned order dated 16.12.2007 is silent, as to the payment of subsistence allowance. The 1st respondent cannot just sit over the matter, by placing the petitioner under suspension. The enquiry, in relation thereto, needs to be completed. The matter cannot brook any further delay. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the 1st respondent to conclude the proceedings initiated against the petitioner, within a period of two months, from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ 8th August 2008 PAN
