THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.33597 of 2010 DT.31.12.2010 Between: J.Ramesh … Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep.by its District Collector (Panchayat Raj Wing), Karimnagar District and others … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri A.Ravinder Counsel for respondents: AGP for Panchayat Raj The Court made the following ORDER: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside proceedings No.2520/A6-Pts/2010, dated 16.12.2010, of respondent No.1, whereby he has suspended the petitioner, Sarpanch of Dongathurthi Gram Panchayat, Dharmaram Mandal, Karimnagar District. A perusal of the impugned order shows that on certain serious allegations against the petitioner, he was placed under suspension under Section 249(6) of the A.P.Panchayat Raj Act, 1994. Though a notice was issued on 14.10.2010, the petitioner has failed to submit his explanation. At the hearing, Sri A.Ravinder, learned counsel for the petitioner, has submitted that on the previous occasion when the petitioner was placed under suspension, he submitted his explanation on 28.06.2010 and that under the bona fide impression that the same explanation would be considered by respondent No.1 before passing the impugned order, his client could not submit a fresh explanation. The learned counsel, however, requested that his client may be given a chance to submit his explanation to the charges levelled against him and that respondent No.1 may consider the same and reconsider his decision, if he is satisfied on the explanation that may be offered by the petitioner. As this submission of the learned counsel appears reasonable, the writ petition is disposed of by permitting the petitioner to submit his explanation within two weeks. On receipt of such explanation, respondent No.1 shall consider the same and if he is satisfied with the explanation offered by the petitioner, he may reconsider his decision regarding suspension. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.42585 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
