HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 28012 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was working as Deputy Superintendent (Traffic) in the Vizianagaram Region of APSRTC. A charge sheet was issued on 13-07-2011 by the Divisional Manager, alleging that the petitioner was irregular in attendance and remained absent without sanctioning of leave. The petitioner states that he did not receive the charge sheet at all. The departmental enquiry was conducted and on the basis of the report, dated 18-08-2011, the petitioner was issued show cause notice, dated 23-08-2011, proposing the punishment of removal. Explanation was submitted by the petitioner on 30-08-2011. Not satisfied with that, the Regional Manager, the 2nd respondent herein, passed an order, dated 07-09-2011, directing removal of the petitioner from the service. The same is challenged in this writ petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 3. It is not a case where the order of removal was passed without conducting enquiry. The petitioner, no doubt, states that he was not served with the copy of the charge sheet. All the same, enquiry was conducted and the petitioner was issued the second show cause notice. Under these circumstances, a writ petition cannot be entertained straightaway. The petitioner can avail the remedy of appeal provided for under the Regulations. 5. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J October 14, 2011. KTL
