(RR2 and 3 are impleaded as per Court order dated 12.12.2003 in WPMP 32302 of 2003) ...RESPONDENTS Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court may be pleased to issue a writ order or direction particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondent in continuing him under prolonged suspension for the last fifteen months without concluding the disciplinary proceedings as directed by the Hon'ble High Court in WA.No.1793/02 against WP.No. 15311/02 dated 13.11.2002 as illegal, arbitrary and violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution and consequently set aside the impugned proceedings No.A2 [1]/4878/2002 dated 6.8.2002 of the respondent with the declaration that he is entitled for reinstatement into service forthwith with all consequential benefits. Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.K.SATYANARYANA MURTHY Counsel for the Respondent No.1: MR.V.CH.NAIDU Counsel for the Respondent No.2: The G.P. for Housing and Municipal Administration Counsel for the Respondent No.3: Mr. K. Ravi Kiran Rao The Court made the following: ORDER: Heard both sides. 2. Petitioner, who is a former employee of the respondent Corporation, files the present writ petition, inter alia, complaining against his continued and long suspension over the last more than one year neither there being any justification nor by taking any steps in furtherance of the disciplinary action. The case of the petitioner is that he was working as a Supervisor and his services have already been regularized; however, on account of the A.C.B surprise-check, he was placed under suspension by an order dated 06-08-2002 and is still being continued, without concluding the disciplinary proceedings. 3. However, such continued and prolonged suspension is not at all warranted in view of G.O.Ms.No.86 dated 08-03-1994. These are all matters, which have to be taken into consideration afresh, by taking into account the long lapse of time and also the directions issued in the aforesaid Governmental instructions. In view of the same, I see no necessity to go into the merits of the allegations as made. 4. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner afresh, as to whether he should be continued under suspension or not and also any action to be taken in view of the principles as laid down in the aforementioned G.O., and such other instructions, in accordance with law. The respondents shall pass appropriate orders within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. ____________________ B.
