THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.26955 OF 2007 DATED: 11.02.2008 Between: P. Venkateshwarlu .. Petitioner And The District Collector/ Cooperation, Nellore, Nellore District and others. .. Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.26955 OF 2007 ORDER: Heard both sides. In this writ petition, the petitioner challenges the notice, dated 21.11.2007, issued by the 3rd respondent, Enquiry Officer, framing charges against him and asking him to attend the office of the Society on 30.11.2007 to submit his explanation on the charges framed. Now, the learned counsel for the petitioner contends that no enquiry worth the name was conducted and, in fact, the petitioner was not permitted to participate in the enquiry actively. Neither the list of documents nor the list of witnesses sought to be relied upon by the 2nd respondent Society was furnished to the petitioner before conducting the enquiry. Under those circumstances, the petitioner could not participate in the enquiry. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, the petitioner is directed to file a detailed representation before the 2nd respondent Society, enumerating the documents required by him such as list of witnesses and list of documents relied upon by the Society, within a period of two weeks from today, and, on filing such representation, the 2nd respondent Society shall furnish copies of such documents within a period of one week thereafter. If no representation is filed by the petitioner within a period of two weeks from today, it shall be presumed that the petitioner is not interested in participating the enquiry and the respondents are at liberty to proceed with the mater as per law. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 11th February, 2008.
