THE HON’BLE Mr. JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.3611 of 2006 Dated: February 27, 2006 Between: P.G. Mohan, S/o. Guru Murthy, aged about 50 years, Hindu, Conductor, E.No.400302, APSRTC, Rajampet Depot, Rajampet, Kadapa District. … Petitioner And The Depot Manager, A.P. State Road Transport Corporation, Rajampet Depot, Rajampet, Kadapa District, and another … Respondents Order: The petitioner is a Conductor in the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation and attached to Rajampet Depot, Kadapa District. He was placed under suspension and a charge sheet was issued on 30-12-2005 in Proceedings No. 02/95 (454)/05-RJPT. 2. So far as the first charge is concerned, he has failed to collect the luggage fare of Rs.2/- and did not issue luggage ticket to a passenger who was traveling between stages 7 to 4 on route Pottappi to Nandalur on 19-12-2005. So far as second charge is concerned, he provoked the ++----------- passengers on the T.T.I. s and even with regard to other charge also, it is not a case where he collected money and misappropriated it. 3. In any event, having regard to the fact that enquiry has already been initiated on 30-12-2005; there is no reason to keep the enquiry pending for such a long time; even in a case where the charges are trivial. In that view of the mater, I dispose of the Writ Petition directing the respondents to complete the enquiry within two weeks from today. In case, if enquiry is not completed within two weeks from today, respondents are directed to reinstate the petitioner into service subject to the outcome of the enquiry. However, it is open for the respondents to record their own findings, taking into account the gravity of the charges and the evidence on record. 4. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. ____________________________ JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY. February 27, 2006 N.B. Furnish C.C. tomorrow B/o MRR
