HONOURABLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.18577 of 2009 Date: 09.09.2009 Between: M.Mallikarjuna Reddy … petitioner And The Mandal Parishad Development Officer, Kadapa District and another. …Respondents HONOURABLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.18577 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioner in this writ petition had earlier filed W.P.No.16775 of 2009 aggrieved by the show cause notice issued by the Mandal Parishad Development Officer, calling upon him to explain the alleged irregularities and also placing him under suspension till the enquiry is completed. The said writ petition was disposed of by this Court by a common order, dated 17.08.2009, with directions as under: “However, keeping in view the fact that the petitioners have already submitted their explanations, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petitions with a direction to the respondents to complete the enquiry initiated against the petitioners following due process of law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. It is made clear that incase the enquiry is not completed within the time fixed above, the impugned orders to the extent of suspending the petitioners pending enquiry shall stand set aside.” However, by separate orders, dated nil the 1st respondent has terminated the service of the petitioner herein with effect from 16.08.2009. The said order is assailed in this writ petition primarily on the ground that the 1st respondent had failed to conduct any enquiry as ordered by this Court in the earlier batch of writ petitions. A perusal of the impugned order shows that the 1st respondent has not only failed to assign reasons but there was also no reference to the order of this Court in the earlier batch of writ petitions. Smt. Ch.Vedavani, learned counsel appearing for the respondents, under instructions submits that the respondents were not aware of the order of this Court since it was not received by them as on the date of passing of the impugned orders. On enquiry from the Registry it is found that he common order, dated 17.08.2009, in the earlier batch of writ petitions was dispatched to the 1st respondent- Mandal Parishad Development Officer, Porumamilla Mandal, Kadapa District only on 24.08.2009. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and keeping in view that the impugned order is not in terms of the order passed by this Court in the earlier batch of writ petitions, the impugned order of termination is hereby set aside the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to complete the enquiry in terms of the order passed in W.P.No.16775 of 2009 and batch on or before 18.09.2009. It is made clear that in case the enquiry is not completed within the time fixed above, the suspension of the petitioner in the impugned order, dated 27.07.2009, shall stand set aside. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ G. ROHINI,J Date:09-09-2009 KLP
