HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.33201 of 2010 Date: 29th December 2010 Between : G.B.asimha Rao. ….Petitioner And The Mandal Educational Officer, M.P.Ardhaveedu, Prakasam District & others. ….Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.33201 of 2010 ORDER : This writ petition is filed, seeking a Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondent No.1- Mandal Educational Officer in threatening to implicate the petitioner in criminal cases and stop the pension in pursuance of the show cause notice, dated 03.12.2010, as illegal and arbitrary. The Mandal Educational Officer, Ardhaveedu Mandal, has issued notice to the petitioner stating that he has misled the Government and Government employees and submitted fake bills as if he got treatment for his wife for cancer and keemo therapy in a private nursing home and caused a loss of Rs.1,41,379/- to the Government. It is stated that the petitioner was called upon to file his explanation on the said allegation and as to why action should not be taken as per the A.P. Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1964. In this writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that though no further orders are passed, the 1st respondent has instructed respondents 2 and 3 to stop the pension payable to him. If there are any allegations against the petitioner, it is open for the respondents to take steps in accordance with law against him, but as much as no final orders are passed by giving opportunity to the petitioner, there is no reason to stop the pension of the petitioner, at this stage. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, with a direction to the respondents not to stop payment of pension to the petitioner. However, it is made clear that this order will not preclude the respondents from taking steps in accordance with law, if it is proved that fake bills are submitted by the petitioner. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 29th December 2010 N.B: Furnish C.C. in two days. (b/o) ajr
