THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23225 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is employed as a Server in a Hostel established and run by Sri Venkateswara University, respondent No.1 herein. Through Memo, dated 17.10.2000, respondent No.1 placed the petitioner under suspension on the ground that he was detained by the Police for a period exceeding 48 hours, and by invoking the relevant Service Regulations. The petitioner contends that though he was convicted by the trial Court in C.C.No.228 of 2001, the appellate Court had set aside the order of conviction and sentence. He made a representation on 02.02.2010 to the respondents with a request to reinstate him into service. His grievance is that no orders have been passed thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Respondent No.1 placed the petitioner under suspension on receiving the information that he was in custody for a period exceeding 48 hours. In the criminal case that ensued, the petitioner was convicted. Even if it is true that the appeal preferred by the petitioner was allowed, the same cannot entail in reinstatement of the petitioner if the University has initiated separate departmental proceedings. Much would depend upon the nature of action initiated by respondent No.1 on its own accord. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.1 to pass appropriate orders on the representation made by the petitioner on 02.02.2010, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:18.08.2011 kdl
