                      Notice before admission.
                      Learned    Government        Pleader    for
                Services-III takes notice for the respondents.

The Writ Petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondents to defer the oral/ departmental enquiry initiated against the petitioner till conclusion of the criminal case against the petitioner in Crime No.164 of 2022 on the file of Eluru III Town Police Station, West Godavari District.

As seen from the charge sheet, all the charges framed against the petitioner and the allegations made in the charge memo are one and the same.

Learned counsel for the petitioner relied upon the Judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Capt. M. Paul Anthony Vs., Bharat Gold Mines Ltd., and another (1999) 3 SCC 679, wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that if the departmental proceedings and the criminal case are based on identical and similar set of facts and the charge in the criminal case against the delinquent employee is of a grave nature which involves complicated question of law and fact, it would be desirable to stay the departmental proceedings till the conclusion of the criminal case.

 SL.   DATE                       ORDER                        OFFICE
NO.                                                            NOTE
                                  :: 2 ::

In view of the facts and circumstances, there shall an interim direction as prayed for.

List the matter along with W.P.No.18711 of 2022 on 29.08.2022.
