THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.No.15905 OF 2010 ORDER: Heard Mr.G.Ravi Mohan, learned counsel for the petitioner and Smt.W.V.S.Rajeswari, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Based on an allegation that the writ petitioner was involved in a serious crime resulting in death of an employee of the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (for short `APSRTC’), he is proceeded against as a measure of discipline. The petitioner shall be treated to have been placed under suspension and he shall be provided with a fair and reasonable opportunity of defending himself, inasmuch as the grievance of the petitioner in this case is that he did not receive the notice of the intended enquiry to be conducted on 25th, 26th or 27th May. The respondents shall conduct the enquiry duly serving the writ petitioner a notice of such enquiry at least one week before the actual date. The writ petitioner will continue to be under suspension till the completion of enquiry. The disciplinary proceedings may be concluded as expeditiously as possible. With this, the writ petition itself stands disposed of. No costs. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J knk 13th July 2010
