PRASAD The Court made the following : O R D E R: This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to set aside order of suspension dated 27-01-2006 as confirmed in order dated 01-02- 2006 passed by respondents 1 and 2 respectively. At the hearing, Sri Gajula Venkateswara Sai, learned counsel for the petitioner, assailed the impugned orders only on the ground that the enquiry has not been completed though more than two years elapsed and the petitioner is entitled to be reinstated by application of G.O.Ms.No.526 General Administration (Services-C) Department, dated 19-08-2008. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Endowments submitted that a charge sheet has already been issued to the petitioner and enquiry is pending. She submitted that the respondents will complete the enquiry within a reasonable time. From a perusal of G.O.Ms.No.526 dated 19-08-2008, it is evident that the said G.O, which envisaged reinstatement of the employees placed under suspension, applies to “Government Servants” only. Admittedly the petitioner, who is the Junior Assistant, is a part of Endowments services under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987. Therefore, G.O.Ms.No.526 has no application to him. However, since the enquiry is pending for more than two years, it is just and necessary that respondent No.2 shall get the enquiry completed and pass final order in the disciplinary proceedings within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.2433 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
