THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.25554 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Assistant Grade-I in the Civil Supplies Department and is In-charge of Mandal Level Staff Point, Shamshabad. The Vigilance and Enforcement Team of Ranga Reddy District, inspected the MLS Point Go-down on 24.09.2010. It was noticed that there was shortage of 38.35 quintals of rice and 2322 pouches of Palmolive oil and excess of 9.02 quintals of sugar. The value thereof is assessed at Rs.4,19,085/-. Taking the same into account, the 2nd respondent passed order, dated 25.09.2010, placing the petitioner under suspension, pending enquiry. The same is challenged in this Writ Petition. Heard Smt.K.Hemalatha, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri T.S.Praveen Kumar, learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation. In the affidavit filed by her, the petitioner has stated the reasons, on account of which, the discrepancy in the stock position had occurred. These, however, are matters, which need to be examined in the disciplinary proceedings. Having regard to the nature of allegations, it cannot be said that there is absolutely no basis for placing the petitioner under suspension. Her interests can be protected by directing the respondents to conclude the disciplinary proceedings within three months from today. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed, however, by directing the respondents to take a decision whether or not to initiate any disciplinary proceedings, and if any, such proceedings are to be initiated to conclude them within a period of three months from today. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.08.10.2010. Note: Furnish C.C. in one week. (B/o) GJ
