O.A.No. 105 of 2009 was filed under Section 19 of the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal’s Act 1985 to quash the proceedings of the first respondent dated 28.12.2008 as illegal. By the said proceedings the first respondent by exercising powers conferred under Rule 8(1) of A.P. Civil Services Rules, 1991 suspended the petitioner from service with immediate effect until the conclusion of the departmental proceedings as it came to the notice of the first respondent that the petitioner demanded bribe to a tune of R. 15,000/- from one Kum.

It is stated that the first respondent taken such a decision either without even verifying the records or without giving any opportunity of hearing the petitioner. The Tribunal after careful examination of the facts held that the allegations are serious in nature warranting passing of the impugned order, therefore, it is not inclined to interfere with the order of suspension. It further held that the enquiry contemplated against the applicant shall be expedited. Feeling aggrieved by the same, the present Writ Petition has been filed. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner contended that petitioner has not demanded the amount for issuance of pattadar pass book but some other person has demanded. He further contended that the first respondent taken such a decision either without even verifying the records or without giving any opportunity of hearing the petitioner. We have heard the learned counsel appearing for both sides and perused the order impugned. We are not inclined to go into the legality or otherwise of the allegations and that has to be gone into during the course of enquiry. In the circumstances, we are not inclined to entertain this Writ petition. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, we direct the authorities concerned to complete and conclude the enquiry within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
