Thereafter, he was transferred to Tuni. Through notice, dated 28.03.2011, the Project Director, District Water Management Agency, respondent No.1 herein, placed the petitioner under suspension pending enquiry. It was alleged that the petitioner has misappropriated huge funds under the Scheme. The petitioner challenges the order of suspension. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The charges framed against the petitioner are a bit grave. The question as to whether the petitioner is guilty of the charges framed against him, needs to be examined in the disciplinary enquiry. The petitioner has already submitted his explanation. This Court expressed the view that disciplinary proceedings in matters of this nature must be concluded within two months. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.1 to conclude the proceedings initiated against the petitioner, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and that the petitioner shall be given an opportunity to participate in the enquiry. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:09.09.2011. kdl
