THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 11742 of 2009. ORDER: The present writ petition has been instituted questioning the orders passed by the 1st respondent Corporation on 15.12.2008, through which order, the writ petitioner was kept under suspension. The writ petitioner was working as a Divisional Manager with the 1st respondent Corporation at Warangal. On the alleged ground that he has indulged in the activities prejudicial to the Corporation, he has been subjected to disciplinary enquiry. While, the petitioner does not object to the disciplinary enquiry to be initiated against him but he objects for placing him under suspension, pending such an enquiry. Several contentions have been canvassed including the allegation of malice entertained by the 2nd respondent, who at the relevant point of time was working as a Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of the 1st respondent Corporation. Be that as it may, disciplinary proceedings have ultimately ended by imposing a punishment of reduction of his pay by three stages and directed the period of suspension as the period not spent on duty but to be treated as leave to which he is entitled. The punishment order has been challenged by the writ petitioner by instituting W.P.No. 2068 of 2010 which is currently pending. It is needless to observe that when once the disciplinary proceedings have culminated in imposition of punishment, the validity of the order of suspension need not be pronounced at this stage. Since the period of suspension was ordered to be treated as the period not spent on duty but on leave to which he was entitled and since that issue is also liable to be agitated and answered in W.P.No. 2068 of 2010, which is currently pending, I consider it inappropriate to pronounce an opinion with regard to the validity or otherwise of the order of suspension particularly when the punishment order including that portion of the order which declared that the period of suspension is not be treated as the period spent on duty is also subject matter of consideration in W.P.No. 2068 of 2010. Therefore, leaving the questions raised in this writ petition open and unanswered and granting liberty to the writ petitioner to agitate the same in W.P.No. 2068 of 2010, the present writ petition is disposed of as no orders need be passed at this stage. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO,J 31.08.2010. KRB. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 11742 of 2009.
