PETITIONER AND Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation Rep. by its Depot Manager, Narasapuram Bus Depot Narasapuram, W.G. District. .....RESPONDENT Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.B.SHIVA KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent: MR.C.PRAKASH REDDY(SC FOR APSRTC) The Court made the following : O R D E R: This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to set aside order dated 06-04-2009, issued by the respondent. The petitioner, who is a driver of the respondent-Corporation, has been placed under suspension by the impugned order, pending enquiry into the allegation that the privilege pass held by the petitioner was misused by a lady passenger, who was stated to be the neighbour of the petitioner. At the hearing, Sri B.Shiva Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner, sought to raise various issues pertaining to the facts. In my view, the impugned order being one of an order of suspension passed pending enquiry, it is not necessary for this Court to delve into the possible defence of the petitioner. Neither jurisdictional issue nor allegations of mala fides have been raised by the petitioner to invalidate the order of suspension, which is intended only to facilitate a proper enquiry into the charges levelled against the petitioner. Therefore, I decline to interfere with the impugned order. However, the respondent is directed to complete the enquiry and pass a final order within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.11976 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 29th April, 2009 vrn
