THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.2150 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: It appears, the petitioner vide impugned proceedings dated 25.3.2006 was placed under suspension pending a detailed enquiry into certain allegations made against him. Though, the order was passed on 25.3.2006, the writ petition is filed on 5.2.2007. Further, when the matter has come up for hearing on 8.2.2007, the learned counsel for petitioner stated that neither the charge sheet was issued nor any enquiry has been commenced against the petitioner and keeping the petitioner under suspension indefinitely would cause serious prejudice to the petitioner. The learned counsel for respondents on 8.2.2007 submitted that charge sheet has already been issued and enquiry is going on and he would produce the charge sheet on the next date of hearing i.e. today. Though a counter is filed and it is asserted that the charge memo has been issued framing the charges, such a charge sheet is not placed before the Court. It appears, a notice dated 23.1.2007 is pasted on the residential door of the petitioner showing that the suspension order dated 14.3.2006 is extended until further orders and except this, no charge sheet is forthcoming. Be that as it may, though it is more than eleven months, it appears neither the charge sheet is issued nor the enquiry is commenced. Therefore, the respondents are directed to complete the enquiry within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. However, if for any reason, the enquiry is not completed within six months, the respondents are directed to reinstate the petitioner into service. Further, the learned counsel for petitioner asserted that under Regulation 33 of the A.P. State Civil Supplies Corporation Staff Regulations, the extension of suspension order is contemplated only against Category-III and IV personnel and not Category-II personnel, to which the petitioner belongs. Therefore, the respondents are directed to review as to whether there is any necessity of keeping the petitioner under suspension any more during the pendency of enquiry and pass orders and communicate the same to the petitioner. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 12.2.2007 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.2150 of 2007 12.2.2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.2150 of 2007 Date: 12th February, 2006 Between: P.C.Aravinda Babu ..
