THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.22264 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was employed as a Community Organizer by the President, District Mahila Samakya, Guntur, through proceedings dated 09.01.2008 for a period of six months on a honorarium of Rs.500/- plus Rs.500/- service charges. It appears that her services were placed at the disposal of the Guntur Municipal Corporation, 2nd respondent herein. Through order, dated 04.03.2010, the 2nd respondent suspended the petitioner with immediate effect. The Deputy Commissioner was directed to conduct enquiry and submit a detailed report. It was mentioned that one Mr.Maadhava Rao, an employee has submitted a complaint against the petitioner stating that he has been manhandled by the brothers of the petitioner in the office premises. This writ petition is filed challenging the proceedings, dated 04.03.2010. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the 2nd respondent. The petitioner was engaged as Community Organizer for a period of six months and she is working with the 2nd respondent. On receiving a complaint from another employee, the 2nd respondent placed the petitioner under suspension. Though it is not clearly mentioned that the suspension is pending enquiry, the fact that the Deputy Commissioner was directed to conduct enquiry makes it clear that the impugned order came to be passed as a measure pending enquiry. Six months have elapsed and the petitioner cannot be kept under suspension, particularly when her appointment itself is for a limited period. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the 2nd respondent to finalize the steps initiated through the impugned proceedings dated 04.03.2010, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 14.09.2010 Note: Issue C.C. in three days. (B/o) JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.22264 of 2010 Date: 14.09.2010 JSU
