THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.25214 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as Technical Assistant for implementation of National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for Mulakalacheruvu Mandal, Chittoor District. Through order, dated 09.11.2009, the 2nd respondent placed the petitioner under suspension, alleging that the petitioner arranged for payment of Rs.9,28,532/- for 99 Form ponds, though they were actually not dug. The same is challenged in this Writ Petition. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The allegation against the petitioner is that he released Rs.9,28,532/- for execution of the works of Form ponds without proper verification. The truth or otherwise of that allegation needs to be established in the enquiry. The 2nd respondent appears to have just forgotten about the matter, once the petitioner was placed under suspension. Ten months have elapsed and it is stated that there is hardly any progress in the matter. In case the enquiry is not concluded within four weeks from today, the suspension of the petitioner can be lifted and the enquiry can be proceeded with. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that the 2nd respondent shall conclude the enquiry initiated against the petitioner within a period of four weeks from today. In case it is not concluded by that time, the petitioner shall be reinstated into service without prejudice to the right of the 2nd respondent to proceed with the enquiry. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.06.10.2010. GJ
