THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26784 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Physical Director in a Junior College, established by the respondent-Society. He was issued proceedings, dated 13.04.2009, through which, the disciplinary action was initiated. The petitioner states that he has submitted his explanation. His grievance is that though more than one year has elapsed, the respondent has not taken any steps, and that the Enquiry Officer was not appointed so far. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent. An organization would no doubt need time to conclude the disciplinary proceedings. Much would depend upon the nature of charges. The petitioner submitted his explanation, soon after he received the charge sheet. Early conclusion of the proceedings becomes necessary, in the context of consideration of the case of the petitioner for promotion to next higher post. There cannot be any justification to keep the disciplinary proceedings without any progress for such a long time. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to conclude the disciplinary 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.09.11.2010. Note: Furnish C.C. in one week. (B/o) GJ
