G.O.Ms.No.91 | Departmental Enquiry Must Conclude Within Two Months; Four-Year Delay Violates Article 21 and Renders Suspension Invalid : Andhra Pradesh HC
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that failure to conclude a departmental enquiry within the mandatory two-month window under G.O.Ms.No.91 violates the right to speedy justice under Article 21, rendering any prolonged suspension unlawful unless supported by a separate, independent order. This sets a binding standard for all state departments conducting disciplinary proceedings against public employees in Andhra Pradesh.
