HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6496 of 2010 Dated: 27-04-2010 Between: M. Mohan Rao. … Petitioner And The Managing Director, A.P. State Housing Corporation Limited & another. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6496 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in continuing him under suspension, pursuant to the order of suspension, dated 05.11.2008, as illegal and arbitrary, and further, seeks declaration, declaring the action of the Managing Director in not complying with the orders of the Government as contained in Letter No.2660/Vig.Cell/A1/2009-2, dated 11.02.2010, as illegal. The petitioner was initially joined as a Technical Work Inspector in the 1st respondent-Corporation, on 14.07.1981, and his services were regularised with effect from 13.07.1982. Thereafter, the petitioner was promoted as an Assistant Engineer, and during the year 2008, alleging some misconduct, disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him, and he was also placed under suspension, pending inquiry. Based on the findings recorded by the inquiry officer in the disciplinary proceedings, a show cause notice, in Rc.No.Vig.1/2496/SKLM/2009, dated 28.07.2009, was issued to the petitioner, enclosing a copy of the inquiry report. It is stated that on receipt of the show cause notice, the petitioner has also filed his explanation on 15.09.2009. It is the grievance of the petitioner that though he has submitted his explanation, no final orders are passed, and the order of suspension pending inquiry, is continued without any reason. It is submitted that when he filed a representation before the Government, the Government has issued Letter No.2660/Vig.Cell/A1/ 2009- 2, directing the Managing Director of the Corporation, to consider the request of the petitioner for reinstatement. It is submitted that inspite of such a direction, no action is being taken in the matter. I have perused the charges framed against the petitioner in the disciplinary proceedings. The allegations are with regard to excess payments made to the beneficiaries in construction of houses, and the same is in violation of the provisions under the A.P. Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1964. When the inquiry is completed and the inquiry report is submitted, a show cause notice, dated 28.07.2009, was issued to the petitioner, to which, he has filed his explanation on 15.09.2009, and therefore, there is no reason for not passing final orders in the disciplinary proceedings and continuing the suspension order. Though the petitioner seeks to rely on the directions issued by the Government, but in the letter issued by the Government, there is no direction for reinstatement, but it is a direction to consider the request of the petitioner for reinstatement. As much as the inquiry report is already submitted, based on which, a show cause notice is issued to the petitioner, for which, he has also filed his explanation, there appears no reason for not passing final orders in the disciplinary proceedings. In view of the nature of charges framed against the petitioner and in view of the completion of inquiry, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the respondents to pass appropriate final orders, pursuant to the show cause notice, dated28.07.2009, issued in Rc.No.Vig.1/2496/SKLM/ 2009, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, and to communicate such order to the petitioner. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 27th April 2010 ajr
