THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No. 1275 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is working as a driver in the Warangal-I Depot of Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation. On 28.12.2010, he was operating a service from Shirdi to Warangal. The service did not have any separate conductor and the drivers were to operate Ticket Issuing Machine (TIM). On a check conducted, it was found that a passenger was travelling without proper ticket. Alleging that the petitioner issued a ticket for Rs.59/- as against the proper ticket of Rs.193/- charge sheet was issued on 05.01.2011. On the same day an order of suspension was passed pending enquiry. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondents. The only charge against the petitioner is that he did not issue ticket of proper denomination to the passenger. The explanation of the petitioner is that the passenger who took the ticket was sleeping and did not alight the bus at his destination. Since the area of controversy is very limited the enquiry itself can be concluded at the earliest. Seven months have elapsed. It is brought to the notice of this Court that the statements of witnesses have already been recorded. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to conclude the enquiry within four weeks from today. If for any reason the enquiry is not completed within that time, the second respondent shall reinstate the petitioner into service without prejudice to the on going enquiry. There shall be no order as to costs. L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt.09.08.2011 Note: CC within one week b.o. lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No. 1275 of 2011 Dt.09.08.2011
