Through order dated 22-08-2005, he was placed under suspension on the allegation that he concealed the fact of non- remittance of its cash to the tune of Rs.2,497/-. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the remittance in question was done during duty hours of another Booking Clerk, and though the said fact was informed to the superior authorities, the same was not taken into account, and he was placed under suspension. The order of suspension is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The respondents placed the petitioner under suspension on the allegation that he concealed the non-remittance of Rs.2,497/-. Though several facts are urged before this Court, it is difficult to interfere with the order of suspension. The grounds of interference with the orders of suspension is very limited, and this Court does not find any ground to interfere with the same. However, having regard to the nature of explanation offered by the petitioner, the suspension cannot be continued for an indefinite period. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to conclude the enquiry initiated against the petitioner, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is directed that the explanation, as well as the supplementary explanation, submitted by the petitioner, shall be taken into account by the respondents, in the ultimate orders, that may be passed by the respondents. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ Dt.07-10-2005. L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. KO
