THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.29263 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Upper Division Clerk, on daily wage basis, in the 3rd respondent-Institution. Allegations were made against him and three other employees, to the effect that they helped the students in resorting to malpractices in S.S.C. Public Examination. The 1st respondent caused preliminary enquiry into the matter, and on the basis of the report, dated 28.03.2010, submitted by the District Educational Officer, Kakinada, issued proceedings, dated 29.03.2010, placing the petitioner under suspension. The same is challenged in this Writ Petition. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. Though it is not at all necessary for an employer to cause enquiry before placing an employee under suspension, the 1st respondent caused such an enquiry. The report points out certain complicity on the part of the petitioner and certain others. Further, the petitioner is only a daily wage employee. It is doubtful as to whether it is necessary to conduct detailed domestic enquiry. He can be issued a show cause notice and on a consideration of the explanation submitted by him, final orders can be passed. Having regard to the nature of the allegations, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the impugned order. The interests of the petitioner can be protected by directing that the proceedings initiated against the petitioner be concluded within two months. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that the 1st respondent shall conclude the proceedings, initiated against the petitioner, within a period of two months from today. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.06.12.2010. Note: Furnish C.C. in one week. (B/o) GJ
