BHANU WRIT PETITION NO: 8494 of 2005 ORDER: Challenging the Order No.C3/2005/7619, dated 16-03-2005, issued by the respondent-Director, National Institute of Technology, Warangal, in placing the petitioner under suspension, the present writ petition has been filed. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondent. 3 . It is stated that the petitioner is working as a Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Regional Engineering College, Warangal. On the ground of misconduct, the petitioner was placed under suspension. The allegation made against the petitioner is that he caught hold of the hand of one Sailaja who is student of the said college. On the complaint lodged by her against the petitioner, a committee was constituted to conduct enquiry and while the enquiry is pending, the petitioner was placed under suspension from service. 4. Normally, this Court will not interfere with the suspension order pending enquiry unless it is vitiated by the malafidies or when the authorities who placed the employee under suspension have no jurisdiction. But, in the present case, there is no allegation with regard to the malafidies or the jurisdiction of the authorities who placed the employee under suspension. 5 . Therefore, on considering the material available on record, I feel it consider to dispose of the writ petition with certain direction. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to complete the enquiry within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. __________________ April 20, 2005 KVR To 1. The Director, National Institute of Technology, Warangal-506 004. 2. Two C.D. Copies.
