THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No. 22078 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is working as a conductor in the respondent- Corporation. On 23.04.2011, while he was conducting the bus on route No.333, a check was conducted at stage No.13. Alleging that the petitioner did not enter full numbers of the tickets in the star document, the third respondent issued a charge sheet dated 03.05.2011. On the same day, he placed the petitioner under suspension through separate proceedings. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the same. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondents. Normally, this Court would not interfere with the orders of suspension pending enquiry, particularly when the charges pertain to financial irregularities. In the instant case, it is not even alleged that the petitioner had collected the fare and failed to issue tickets or that he permitted the passengers to travel without tickets. Even from a reading of the impugned order, it is prima facie evident that the allegation against the petitioner is as to the manner in which he filled the numbers in the star document. The question as to whether such an act amounts to any misconduct as defined under the relevant regulations needs to be considered in the disciplinary proceedings. However, suspension of a conductor on such ground would in fact be not in the interests of the Corporation at all. They shall have to pay subsistence allowance without extracting any work. Hence, the writ petition is allowed, directing the respondents to reinstate the petitioner forthwith. The reinstatement of the petitioner shall be subject to the out come of the disciplinary proceedings. If the respondents feel that it is not advisable to continue the petitioner as conductor in Waltair Depot, it shall be open to them to transfer him to any other depot within the Visakhapatnam city. There shall be no order as to costs. L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt.04.08.2011 lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No. 22078 of 2011 Dt.04.08.2011
