THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25303 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is employed as Field Assistant for Keroor Village, Alladurg Mandal, Medak Dikstrict under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. The Project Director, District Water Management Agency, respondent No.1 herein, placed the petitioner under suspension through proceedings, dated 30.10.2010. On the same day, a show cause notice was issued to the petitioner alleging that there is discrepancy as to the number of Tractors engaged for the removal of silt and the number of trips. The petitioner states that he submitted his explanation on 23.03.2011 denying the charges. His grievance is that respondent No.1 has not reinstated him so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The appointment under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme is contractual and for a limited term. In that view of the matter, this Court took the view in several matters that even where an employee is placed under suspension, the proceedings must be concluded within two months. In the instant case, the petitioner was placed under suspension on 30.10.2010 and in response to the show cause notice, he submitted explanation on 23.03.2011. There cannot be any justification for the respondents in not finalizing the proceedings so far. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and respondent No.1 is directed to reinstate the petitioner into service without prejudice to the ongoing disciplinary proceedings. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:09.09.2011. Note: Issue cc in three days. (B/o) kdl
