Though the learned Counsel for the petitioner vehemently contended that the allegations made against the petitioner are all false and baseless, I am not inclined to go into the correctness of the said allegations. Admittedly, a show cause notice was already issued and the enquiry is pending and therefore it is necessary for the respondent to proceed with the enquiry and record the findings after considering the explanation offered by the petitioner. In the circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, the Writ petition is disposed of, with a direction to the respondent- Revenue Divisional officer, Miryalaguda, to complete the enquiry initiated against the petitioner following due process of law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. _________ 29.10.2004 Note: Issue C.C. by Monday. (B/O) sh To 1. The Revenue Divisional Officer, Miryalaguda, Nalgonda District. 2.
