PETITIONER AND The APSRTC, Rep by its Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Musheerabad, Hyderabad and another. ..RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No :13031 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is working as a Conductor in APSRTC. This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the order dated 25.4.2009 passed by the 2nd respondent thereby placing the petitioner under suspension pending enquiry into the alleged cash and ticket irregularities committed on the Route Nellore - R.G Palle on 16.4.009. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Corporation. Having regard to the fact that the impugned order is only an order of suspension pending enquiry though I am not inclined to express any opinion on merits, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to complete the enquiry initiated against the petitioner following due process of law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. It is made clear that in case the enquiry is not completed within the time stipulated above, the impugned order shall stand set aside and the petitioner shall be reinstated into service. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _______________ Justice G.Rohini Date:05.10.2009 mrb
