The said Writ Petitions were disposed of by this Court by a common order, dated 18-08-2009, with directions as under: “However, keeping in view the fact that the petitioners have already submitted their explanations, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petitions with a direction to the respondents to complete the enquiry initiated against the petitioners following due process of law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. It is made clear that in case the enquiry is not completed within the time fixed above, the impugned orders to the extent of suspending the petitioners pending enquiry shall stand set aside”. However, by separate orders, dated nil the 1st respondent has terminated the services of all the petitioners herein with effect from 16- 08-2009. The said orders are assailed in these Writ Petitions primarily on the ground that the 1st respondent had failed to conduct any enquiry as ordered by this Court in the earlier batch of Writ Petitions. A perusal of the impugned orders shows that the 1st respondent has not only failed to assign reasons but there was also no reference to the orders of this Court in the earlier batch of Writ Petitions. 2. Smt Ch.Vedavani, learned counsel appearing for the respondents, under instructions submits that the respondents were not aware of the order of this Court since it was not received by them as on the date of passing of the impugned orders. On enquiry from the Registry it is found that the common order, dated 18-08-2009, in the earlier batch of Writ Petitions was dispatched to the 1st respondent-Mandal Parishad Development Officer, Porumamilla mandal, Kadapa District only on 24-08-2009. 3. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and keeping in view that the impugned orders are not in terms of the order passed by this Court in the earlier batch of writ petitions, the impugned orders of termination are hereby set aside and all these Writ Petitions are disposed of with a direction to the respondents to complete the enquiry in terms of the order passed in W.P.No.16961 of 2009 & batch on or before 18-09-2009. It is made clear that in case the enquiry is not completed within the time fixed above, the suspension of the petitioners in the impugned orders, dated 27-07-2009, shall stand set aside. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J 03rd September, 2009. Note: Furnish C.C. of the order by 07-09-2009 B/o Tsy
