APPELLANT AND Depot Manager, APSRTC, Dilsukhnagar Depot, Hyderabad. .....RESPONDENT Counsel for the Appellant:MR.MOHD.GHOUSEUDDIN Counsel for the Respondent .: MR.K.HARINATH.STANDING COUNSEL for APSRTC The Court made the following : JUDGMENT (Per Sri G.Bikshapathy,J) 1. This Writ Appeal is filed against the interim orders passed by the learned single Judge in W.P.M.P.No.3916 of 2004 in W.P.No.2967 of 2004, dated 19-02-2004.. 2. The appellant who is the writ petitioner before the learned single Judge, challenged the order of punishment dated 30- 04-2003 wherein reduction of basic pay by two incremental stage which shall have effect on future increments, was ordered. In the above Writ Petition he sought for interim suspension of the said order. The learned single Judge refused to grant the suspension. Against the said order, the present Writ Appeal has been filed. 3. The learned counsel for the appellant submits that as there was no prima-facie case for imposing punishment, the learned single Judge ought to have suspended the same.. 4. We are afraid we cannot accept the contention raised by the learned counsel for the appellant.. As the matter has to be finally adjudicated by the learned single Judge, we do not find any ground to interfere with the order of the learned single Judge. However, we find the Writ Petition has to be disposed of expeditiously. 5. Therefore, while dismissing the Writ Appeal , we direct the Writ Petition be posted for final hearing on 2nd September, 2004. No costs. ----------------------------- G.BIKSHAPATHY ---------------------------------------- B.SESHASAYANA REDDY Dated:12-07-2004.
