On 25.06.2025, this Court passed the following order. “Based on certain allegations that the petitioner was involved in the illegal sale of college properties, the Regional Joint Director of Collegiate Education, Rajamahendravaram (Respondent No.3), issued Memo No.156/C-1/2025 dated 10.06.2025, proposing to conduct an enquiry on 25.06.2025. The memo requested the petitioner, who is the Secretary & Correspondent of BGBS (W) College, Narsapur, to be present at the college on the said date. Aggrieved by the issuance of the Memo dated 10.06.2025, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition. Learned Government Pleader for Education submits that, when serious allegations are made against the petitioner, the petitioner is bound to attend the enquiry. However, instead of attending the enquiry, the petitioner is resorting to delay SRK, J WP No.15331 of 2025 4 tactics which is illegal, arbitrary and requested to pass appropriate orders. At this juncture, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the respondents must issue a prior notice before initiating any action against the petitioner. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for School Education, this Court deems it appropriate to direct that, upon completion of the enquiry, if the authorities arrive at a conclusion to pass any order and propose to take consequential action, the respondent authorities shall issue notice to the petitioner and afford an opportunity of hearing to submit an explanation before initiating such action. Post after four (04) weeks.” 3.

Though the matter is listed under the caption „for dismissal‟, there is no representation on behalf of the Writ Petitioner. 4. However, learned counsel appearing on behalf of 4th respondent submitted that in connection with the illegal sale of College properties, 4th respondent conducted an enquiry and the petitioner attended the enquiry, and in view of the same, nothing SRK, J WP No.15331 of 2025 5 survives for adjudication in the Writ Petition and the matter has become infructuous. 5. Recording the said submission, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs.
