THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.NO.9271 OF 2006 DATED: 28.04.2006 BETWEEN: M.Sudhakar .. Petitioner And The Managing Director, The A.P. State Cooperative Rural Irrigation Corporation Ltd. …. Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.NO.9271 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: Heard Sri G.Dasaradha Rami Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri P.R.Balarami Reddy, learned counsel for the Respondent. The writ petition is against an order of suspension pending enquiry, dated 18.04.2006 issued by the respondent. The petitioner was placed under suspension pending enquiry for the reason that he has committed serious financial irregularities; that disciplinary proceedings are contemplated and that the respondent is satisfied that it is necessary in public interest to place the petitioner under suspension, pending enquiry. Neither malafides of the respondent are alleged nor is it contended that the respondent is incompetent to exercise the power of suspension, pending enquiry. What the petitioner alleges inter alia is that there was no preliminary enquiry conducted before suspension. The power to place an employee under suspension, pending enquiry is an emergent power exercisable in public interest and there are a very few grounds and very rarely is power exercised to interdict an order of suspension pending enquiry. This case does not fall within the exceptions. There are no merits. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J Dt.28-04-2006 Kvrm
