THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI WRIT PETITION No. 14463 OF 2000 ORAL ORDER: The inaction on the part of the second respondent in not permitting the petitioner to work as Secretary in the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society, Narmetta is questioned in this writ petition. The petitioner had been working as Secretary of the Respondent Society from June, 1991 and placed under suspension on 29.6.1991 basing on the Audit Report for the year 1988-89 and for the suspension period, subsistence allowance was not paid, he filed WP No. 22526 of 1998, which was dismissed reserving liberty to the petitioner to raise dispute under Sec. 61 of the A.P. Cooperative Societies Act. On the dispute being raised by the petitioner, the Cooperative Sub-Registrar, passed an Award on 31.08.1999 entitling him to 50% of the subsistence allowance for six months and at 75% for the next six months and thereafter full payment. Pursuant to this award and on the resolution passed in the meeting dated 27.12.1999, the petitioner jointed duty as Secretary on 28.12.1999, pending enquiry. Thereafter, the petitioner was served with a charge memo dated 7.1.2000 calling for his explanation, to which he submitted his written explanation. Thereafter, the respondent issued a notice on 3.2.2000 to show cause as to why punishment of stoppage of annual grade increments with cumulative effect should not be imposed against him. The petitioner submitted his explanation to the show cause notice on 15.2.2000 and an order dated 21.2.2000 came to be passed treating the suspension period as on duty and ordered stoppage of two annual grade increments with cumulative effect. The petitioner joined duty on 28.12.1999 and he was paid salary up to March, 2000. While so, the Managing Committee of the first respondent society was suspended and the second respondent was appointed person incharge thereof. It is stated that though the petitioner approached the second respondent, the second respondent did not permit the petitioner to work and sign in the Attendance Register. As such, the petitioner submitted representations dated 16.6.2000 and 12.7.2000. It is further stated that after the petitioner had raised a dispute under Sec. 61 of the A.P. Cooperative Societies Act before the first respondent and filing the writ petition, subsistence allowance was paid to him. Hence, the present writ petition. A detailed counter affidavit is filed by the second respondent denying material allegations. It is stated that dues are to be recovered from the petitioner for implementation of E.P. Proceedings. It is also stated that in view of pendency of criminal case against the petitioner, it is not desirable to reinstate the petitioner. The factual matrix is not in dispute. Today, W.P. No. 4758 of 2002, filed by the petitioner assailing his dismissal from service is disposed of, without expressing any opinion on merits or otherwise of the contentions raised therein directing the Appellate Authority to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of the said order. In view of the said direction, no separate orders need be passed in this writ petition. Consequently, the writ petition is disposed of in terms of the orders passed in W.P. No. 4758 of 2002. No order as to costs. _______________________________ JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI 22.7.2010 CHV
