Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.A.RAJENDRA BABU Counsel for the Respondents: MR.P.UDAYA BHASKARA RAO The Court made the following : ORDER: The petitioner is employed as Technical Work Inspector in the Krishna District Branch of A.P. State Housing Corporation Limited. He was placed under suspension by order, dated 12.02.2007, by the 2nd respondent, alleging that the petitioner remained unauthorisedly absent. The grievance of the petitioner is that he is not being paid subsistence allowance, and substantial amount towards increments, for the period anterior to suspension was also withheld. He claims to have made several representations, latest being, dated 07.11.2007, and complains that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The grievance of the petitioner is two-fold, viz., payment of subsistence allowance and payment of arrears, on account of increments, for the period anterior to suspension. This Court cannot quantify the amounts that are payable to the petitioner. The services in the Corporation are governed by the relevant Regulations, and the claim of the petitioner needs to be verified with reference to the same. The representations cannot be kept pending, particularly when the petitioner is under suspension. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 2nd respondent to pass appropriate orders on the representation, dated 07.11.2007, made by the petitioner, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ Dt.24.07.2008 L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J GJ
