3. We have heard learned counsel for the parties at length. In our opinion, the issue can be resolved by relegating the parties to
4. respondent No.2 Assistant Divisional Engineer, APSPDCL, North Rajupalem, who issued the show cause notice, dated 08.05.2018, to which the appellant has also filed an appropriate response. The said authority shall pass an appropriate speaking order after affording both the appellant as also the private respondent Nos.3 and 4, namely Mr. P. Sivamohan Reddy and Ms. P. Kamalini, an opportunity of being heard. Appropriate orders be passed within three weeks, positively, uninfluenced by the observations made by the learned single Judge. Once the order is passed, it shall be open to parties to avail the remedies in accordance with law. Until such time that respondent No.2 takes an appropriate decision, no coercive steps be taken against the appellant herein. Be that as it may, the judgment and order impugned to that extent shall
5. stand modified. Accordingly, the present writ appeal is disposed of. No
order as to costs. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, in this appeal, shall stand closed.
