No. 4323 OF 2010 Thursday, the Eighth day of July, Two Thousand and Ten Between K.Ramesh Babu Petitioner AND A.P. State Housing Corporation Limited, Rep.by its Managing Director, Hyderabad and others Respondents THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI W.P. NO. 4323 OF 2010 ORAL ORDER: The writ petitioner questions his suspension issued in Proceedings No. C1/2113/2007 dated 22.6.2007 by the second respondent and its continuance when similarly place employees were reinstated, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner, who was appointed as Work Inspector at Bhupalapally Service Area on 23.6.1999, was placed under suspension by the second respondent through proceedings dated 22.6.2007, alleging misuse of funds. Apart from the petitioner, five other employees were also suspended. It is the case of the petitioner that basing on the letter dated 3.10.2009 issued by the first respondent, the second respondent, after a critical review of the cases of the employees who were under suspension for more than six months, has reinstated eight employees, singling out the petitioner. Since the petitioner is under suspension for more than three years, he filed the present writ petition. When this writ petition had come up for admission on 25.2.2010, a learned Judge of this Court has ordered to revoke the order of suspension dated 22.6.2007 and permit the petitioner to continue as Work Inspector. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that pursuant to the interim order dated 25.2.2010, the petitioner has joined duty. Learned counsel further submits that the enquiry initiated against the petitioner is still pending. In view of the fact that the petitioner has already joined duty pursuant to the interim direction dated 25.2.2010 and since the enquiry initiated against the petitioner is pending, the respondents are directed to complete the enquiry within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and till such enquiry is completed, the interim order passed on 25.2.2010 shall continue. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ________________________ Justice T. Meena Kumari July 8, 2010 MAS
