THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26338 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Secretary in Gutala Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Society Limited, respondent No.4 herein. The President of the Society placed the petitioner under suspension through order, dated 03.05.2010 on the allegation of misappropriation of funds. The grievance of the petitioner is that the enquiry is not being concluded and he is under suspension for the past more than one year. At the stage of admission, the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.2 obtained instructions and submits that the progress in the enquiry did not take place on account of non- availability of the petitioner. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for respondent Nos.1 and 3 and the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.2. The allegation against the petitioner is that he has misappropriated huge funds of the Society. Therefore, no exception can be taken to the suspension ordered against the petitioner. A detailed enquiry is needed into the matter of this nature. On behalf of respondent No.2, it is stated that whereabouts of the petitioner are not known and he is not cooperating with the enquiry at all. In case the petitioner makes himself available, the enquiry can be concluded within three months. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of upholding the order of suspension, but directing that respondent No.4 shall conclude the disciplinary proceedings initiated against the petitioner within three months, however, subject to the condition that the petitioner shall make himself available on every date of hearing. In case he remains absent or does not participate in the enquiry, he shall forego the right to be paid the subsistence allowance also. To avoid further uncertainty to the matter, it is directed that the petitioner shall report to the Office of respondent No.4 on 17.10.2011 and he shall continue to appear on subsequent dates that may be intimated to him personally. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:12.10.2011. kdl
