IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE TWENTY EIGHTH DAY OF JANUARY TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.1242 of 2011 Between: G.Prakash Rao … Petitioner And The Mandal Parishad Development Officer, Visakhapatnam District … Respondent This Court made the following: HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.1242 of 2011 ORDER:- The petitioner, who was appointed as Village Resource Person (Field Assistant), basing on a preliminary enquiry that he has committed financial irregularities of a sum of Rs.23,087/-, has been placed under suspension by the impugned orders in RC.No.83/08/NREGS, dated 28.08.2010. While placing the petitioner under suspension by means of the said order, he has been called upon to submit his written explanation besides handing over the records and the cell phone equipment. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has already responded to the said direction and filed his explanation. The short grievance of the petitioner pleaded and presented is that even after a lapse of more than four months since the order has been passed, no enquiry has been conducted and the petitioner has been kept under suspension indefinitely. The learned counsel, therefore, would submit that in stead of going into the merits of the case, it would suffice that a direction be given to the respondent to complete the enquiry within a time frame and take a decision therein. Having regard to the short submission made as above, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent to complete the enquiry into the alleged irregularity and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as early as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the said order to the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J January 28, 2011 Note: Issue C.C. by one week {B/o} lmv
