ORDER: Petitioner states that while he was discharging his duties as Technical Work Inspector at Vidapanakal Mandal, Anantapur District, he was suspended from service vide order dated 29.01.2009 passed by the 1st respondent-District Collector & Executive Director, A.P.State Housing Corporation Limited, Ananthapur, on the allegation of misappropriation of funds of the Government. The grievance of the petitioner is that for the past 18 months, he has been kept under suspension and till date the enquiry proceedings are not concluded. Hence, this writ petition is filed seeking appropriate directions. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that till date the respondents have neither conducted the enquiry nor issued any show cause notice to the petitioner and the petitioner has been placed under suspension for the last 18 months, which is not desirable.
