THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25271 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as an Assistant Project Officer under N.R.E.G.S. Scheme for Velpanur Village, Velugodu Mandala, Kmurnool District for a period of one year from 01.04.2011 to 31.03.2012. Through proceedings, dated 26.08.2011, the Projector Director, District Water Manager Agency, Kurnool, 1st respondent herein placed the petitioner under suspension, alleging that he neglected the duties and he was responsible for misappropriation of funds. The petitioner challenges the said order. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The suspension ordered against the petitioner is pending enquiry. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner had stated that the charges are not serious enough or that the Gram Sabha has passed a resolution exonerating the petitioner, this Court does not take the same into account at this stage. However, since the appointment of the petitioner itself is for a limited tenure, the suspension cannot be continued indefinitely. The 1st respondent must expedite the enquiry and if there is any further delay, the petitioner must be reinstated. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the 1st respondent shall initiate and conclude the disciplinary proceedings within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In case, the proceedings are not concluded by that time, the petitioner shall be reinstated into service without prejudice to the right of the respondents to proceed further. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 08.09.2011 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25271 of 2011 Date: 08.09.2011 JSU
