Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.3209 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a Writ of Mandamus to declare the show cause notice of removal No.M1/136(1)/2009-BDVL, dated 23.01.2010, issued by the 2nd respondent, as illegal and arbitrary. 2. Facts of the case, in brief, are that basing on the report of the Assistant Manager (T), Badvel, dated 16.03.2009, that the petitioner was absent from duty on 16.03.2009 without sanction of leave or prior permission and that the petitioner was involved in a murder case on 15.03.2009 and in that connection he was lodged in Centraol Prison, Kadapa, for judicial remand, the 2nd respondent has issued charge sheet against the petitioner on 23.03.2009 and sought for explanation within seven days. On the even date, he passed an order keeping the petitioner under suspension. Subsequently, to the charge sheet, the petitioner offered explanation on 04.07.2009. As the said explanation is not satisfactory, the 2nd respondent has issued a notice No.M1/136(1)/2009-BDVL, dated 23.01.2010 calling upon him to show cause as to why he should not be removed from service and submit his written explanation within seven days from the date of receipt of the show cause notice. The same is questioned in this writ petition. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for A.P.S.R.T.C. 4. Apparently, the petitioner without offering written explanation to the notice impugned in this writ petition, straightaway approached this Court and filed the writ petition. In the light of the same and as the contentions putforth by the learned counsel for the petitioner can as well be canvassed before the 2nd respondent, the petitioner is hereby directed to approach the 2nd respondent and submit his explanation to the impugned notice within a period of seven (7) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 16th February, 2010 CBS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.3209 of 2010 (Disposed of) 16th February, 2010 CBS
