Alleging that the petitioner was trapped by the ACB officials for demanding and accepting the bribe amount of Rs.10,000/-, the first respondent placed the petitioner under suspension vide Memo dated 07.03.2004. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he made representation as early as on 30.04.2004 to the second respondent, the second respondent has not disposed of the said representation. Hence, this writ petition. The second respondent has to take appropriate decision whether to revoke the suspension order or not. Therefore, without going into merits of the case, I dispose of the writ petition directing the second respondent to take appropriate decision and pass appropriate orders on the representation dated 30.04.2004 made by the petitioner within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. 07.02.2004 Note:CC in two days bo usd To 1. The Superintendent Engineer (Operational) A.P.E.P. D.C.
