Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.PULLA RAO YELLANKI Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR SERVICES II The Court made the following : COMMON ORDER: (Per Sri P.Swaroop Reddy, J.) All the three writ petitions arise out of a common order passed by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal in O.A.Nos.10804, 10810 and 10815 of 2008, dated 30.12.2008, filed by the petitioners herein. As the issue involved in these writ petitions is one and the same, they are being heard and disposed of by a common order. The relevant facts, in brief, are that all the petitioners were working as Police Constables in Palvoncha P.S., Khammam District and on official duties they were deputed to Rajasthan State for execution of NBWs in Cr.Nos.121/2007 and 122/2007 on certain accused on 20.4.2008 and they were trapped by the Anti Corruption Department of Rajasthan for demanding and accepting bribe from a person by name Milap Dugar and they were produced in the concerned court at Bikaner where they were remanded to judicial custody by the Magistrate and later they were suspended. Challenging the said orders of suspension, they filed the impugned O.As., which were dismissed by the Tribunal by order dated 30.12.2008, holding that the gravity of the misconduct is very serious and the period of suspension is extended by another six months. As already referred to above by the Tribunal, the allegations are very serious in nature, the petitioners, who were deputed to Rajasthan for execution of NBWs, were trapped by the Anti Corruption Department of Rajasthan for demanding and accepting bribe from a person against whom NBW was pending and later they were remanded to judicial custody by the concerned court at Bikaner. In the circumstances, we do not see any illegality or infirmity in the impugned order passed by the Tribunal in the said O.As. The writ petitions are accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. __________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY, J. 26.6.2009 kpr
