THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10020 of 2006 Date: 24.05.2006 Between: S. Saran … PETITIONER AND The General Manager (E &E) Ukkunagaram, Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, Viskhapatnam & another. … RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner is working as Deputy General Manager (Incharge) in the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant. Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him by serving a charge memo dated 28.06.2004. His grievance is that though nearly two years have lapsed, the disciplinary proceedings have not been completed and in the meanwhile he is suffering in terms of his promotion and other benefits. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no justification for the respondents in keeping the proceedings pending for such a long time. Learned Standing counsel, on instructions submits that the departmental enquiry initiated against the petitioner has resulted in dropping all the charges and the formal orders will be issued as soon as the Central Vigilance Commission clears the matter. The grievance of the petitioner stands substantially redressed, in view of the fact that the charges against him were dropped in the departmental proceedings. The respondents were handicapped in issuing the final orders in view of the pendency of the matter with the Central Vigilance Commission. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall close the matter as soon as they receive necessary orders from the Central Vigilance Commission. ___________________________ L.
