THE HON’BLE SMT. JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI and THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No. 19373 of 2007 O R D E R: (Per the Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) This writ petition is filed against the order dated 6.7.2007 passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal in O.A. No. 4212 of 2007. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Transport appearing for respondents. On the allegations that the petitioner possessed assets disproportionate to the known source of income, the Range Inspector II ACB had issued a notice to the petitioner on 28.4.2006 pursuant to the raid conducted during the 2nd week of April 2006. Basing on the Radio message received from the Range Inspector II ACB, Vijayawada Range, Guntur that the petitioner possessed assets disproportionate to the known sources of his legal income, the 2nd respondent vide Proceedings No. 1056/V3/06 dated 22.4.2006 placed the petitioner under suspension. Though the case of the petitioner is that he did not possess any disproportionate assets, we are in agreement with the observation made by the Tribunal that the respondent authorities have applied their mind and having regard to the magnitude of allegations have chosen to place the petitioner under suspension in the public interest. The petitioner, as rightly observed by the Tribunal, did not avail the alternative remedy of filing the appeal against the order passed by the Transport Commissioner, Hyderabad. In view of the above, we do not find any ground to interfere with the order passed by the Tribunal. We find no merit in this writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed. T. MEENA KUMARI, J. G.
