THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.24515 OF 2007 DATED: 20.11.2007 Between: M.V. Pathrudu .. Petitioner And The Superintending Engineer, Operation Circle, APEPDCL, Visakhapatnam, Visakhapatnam District and another. .. Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.24515 OF 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed challenging the memo No. SE/O/VSP AD/A4/D.No.2729/07, dated 31.10.2007, issued by the 1st respondent – Superintending Engineer, Operation Circle, A.P.E.P.D.C.L., Visakhapatnam, whereunder the petitioner was placed under suspension pending enquiry into the charges levelled against him. There is no necessity of going into all the details. No substantial grounds such as lack of jurisdiction or power, or malafides on the part of the respondents in suspending the petitioner from service have been made out to entertain the writ petition and to interfere with the impugned suspension order under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, I am of the opinion that the writ petition cannot be entertained and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. However, it is desirable that the respondents shall complete the enquiry contemplated against the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J 20th November, 2007 IBL
