HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU Writ Petition No.10353 of 2008 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V.Ramulu) This writ petition is directed against the orders made in C.A.No.253 of 2007 and M.A.No.415 of 2008 in O.A.No.7833 of 2006 dated 11-04-2008 on the file of Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad, 2. The petitioner appears to have filed contempt application seeking to punish the respondents for wilful and deliberate violation of the order earlier passed by the Tribunal on 02-1-2007 whereunder the respondents were directed to complete all departmental enquiries against the applicant within a period of three months thereof and if for any reason, they are unable to complete the disciplinary enquiries within three months, it is for the respondents to approach the Tribunal for extension of time by stating the reasons therefor. The respondents could not complete the enquiries as directed by the Tribunal and therefore filed M.A.No.415 of 2008 seeking extension of time. Both the applications were disposed of. The contempt application was closed while granting six months’ time for completion of the enquiries. Aggrieved thereby, the present writ petition is filed. 3. It seems, the petitioner is aggrieved by the grant of extension of time by six months for completion of enquiries. It is his contention that such extension of time would not yield any result and it may result in irreparable loss to him. 4. We are of the opinion that the impugned order passed by the Tribunal is in consonance with the order dated 02-1-2007. Therefore, no fault can be found in the order passed by the Tribunal as the respondents have explained the circumstances under which the enquiries could not be completed in time while seeking extension. Apart from this, the petitioner has been paid the provisional pension as well as the gratuity, pending enquiry. Under those circumstances, we do not see any reason to interfere with the order passed by the Tribunal. 4. The writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. It is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J. ___________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. 09-06-2008 bsc IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE NINTH DAY OF JUNE, TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED and THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO : 10353 of 2008 Between: Sree Ranga Chary S/o.
