THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25280 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Conductor in Ibrahimpatnam Depot of A.P.S.R.T.C., Vijayawada. The Depot Manager, Ibrahimpatnam, Vijayawada, respondent No.3 herein, issued a charge sheet, dated 30.07.2011, alleging that the petitioner refused to sell concessional tickets of the denomination of Rs.35/- and on account of the same, the Corporation had incurred losses. On the same day, respondent No.3 passed an order placing the petitioner under suspension. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. This is not a case where the petitioner is alleged to have collected any fare and failed to issue tickets. Even according to the charge sheet, the allegation against the petitioner is that he refused to sell the concessional tickets named as “travel as you like” of the denomination of Rs.35/-. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the tickets of that nature are sold in urban services, whereas the petitioner is conducting rural service. Further, the allegation as of now is a bit vague and no specific instances are mentioned. At any rate, the situation does not warrant placing of the petitioner under suspension. On account of such a step, the Corporation itself would be incurring loss by paying subsistence allowance to the petitioner without extracting the work. It cannot be said that the petitioner has derived any benefit by refusing to sell such tickets even if they are available with him. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and the charge sheet, dated 30.07.2011, is set aside. It is left open to respondent No.3 to proceed with the enquiry in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:16.09.2011. kdl
