HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO WRIT PETITION No.23036 OF 2001 Dated 25-11-2010 Between: Nandapurapu Veerraju Panthulu. …Petitioner. And: The A.P.Transco, represented by its Chief Managing Director, Vidyuth Soudha, Khairatabad, Hyderabad and others. ……Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO WRIT PETITION No.23036 OF 2001 ORDER: When the matter is called, there is no representation. The writ petitioner challenges the impugned memo No.SE/O/SKL/Adm/A3/D.No.1360/2001, dated 30-8-2001 imposing penalty of stoppage of three increments without cumulative effect and treating the period of suspension confined to the pay and allowances paid towards subsistence allowance only. As ca be seen from the allegations, the petitioner is said to be a Lineman and found fault with certain irregularities and the Divisional Electrical Engineer passed the order and imposed punishment of stoppage of three increments without cumulative effect and the said order has been reviewed confining it to three increments without cumulative effect. The grounds of attack in this writ petition does not show any serious infringement of the principles of natural justice in the disciplinary proceedings. The imposition of the stoppage of three increments without cumulative effect will not cause any financial loss. Further even as per the Fundamental Rules of the Government employees, the period of suspension is generally confined by payment of subsistence allowance and not insisting for entire salary. Since there is a punishment, the entitlement of the salary for the suspension period does not arise. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. _________________________________ Justice N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO Dated 25-11-2010. Dvs HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO WRIT PETITION No.23036 OF 2001 Dated 25-11-2010
