THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.25177 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was employed as Mechanic in the Paderu Depot of A.P.S.R.T.C. The Depot Manager, the 4th respondent herein, issued a charge-sheet, dated 17-04-2010, alleging acts of misconduct on the part of the petitioner. It was alleged that the petitioner consumed alcohol, while on duty, and the same resulted in delay in attending to a Bus, that developed mechanical trouble on the route. The petitioner submitted his explanation. An enquiry officer was appointed, and the petitioner was issued a show cause notice, proposing the punishment of removal from service. That was followed by an order dated 11-10-2010, passed by the 4th respondent, removing the petitioner from service. The petitioner filed appeal before the Deputy Chief Mechanical Engineer, Visakhapatnam, the 3rd respondent herein. The appeal was rejected on 27-12-2010. The petitioner challenges the said two proceedings. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The Regulations framed by the Corporation provide a further remedy, in the form of review, with the Regional Manager. It is stated that the petitioner has already availed that remedy before the 2nd respondent. A Writ Petition cannot be entertained, even while a review petition is pending. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the 2nd respondent shall pass appropriate orders on the review petition filed by the petitioner, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt. 08-09-2011. KO
