THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.A.No.825 OF 2011 J U D G M E N T: (Per the Hon’ble Sri Justice Nooty Ramamohana Rao) This writ appeal is directed against the order passed by the learned single Judge in W.P.No.6865 of 2011. The respondent herein, who is a conductor employed with the Appellants, has been placed under suspension alleging certain acts of misconduct on his part. Challenging the validity of the said order of suspension, he instituted the writ petition. The learned single Judge has held that the allegations thrown against the respondent – writ petitioner are not grave warranting the suspension of such an employee from service. We have perused the record. We accord our concurrence with the finding of the learned single Judge that the allegations thrown against the respondent - writ petitioner are not grave in nature warranting his suspension from service. It should be remembered by the Appellants that suspension from service should be resorted to rarely and only in extremely important cases and not in every case, where allegations are thrown against the employee. Resort to suspension is not to be indulged in routinely but should be only after a careful thought process. Otherwise, the work force gets demoralized. However, to secure industrial peace, we consider it appropriate to grant liberty to the Appellants to consider reinstatement of the writ petitioner at any other depot in the district, so that he can continue to work while participating in the enquiry. With this, the Writ Appeal is disposed of, after hearing Sri E. Madan Mohan Rao, the learned counsel for the respondent- writ petitioner. No costs. --------------------------- Ghulam Mohammed, J --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J Mrk/knk 22nd November 2011
