IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WP No. 27841 of 1998 Between : K.Satyanarayana .. Petitioner and The Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society, Chalpur, Mulugu-Ghanpur Mandal, Warangal District and four Others .. Respondents Dated : 31st July 2007 JUDGMENT : The writ petitioner has filed the present writ petition questioning the validity of the orders passed on 19.5.1998 by the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society, Chalpur, through which order the petitioner had been removed from the duties of the society with effect from 1.3.1998 and surrendered him to the District Cooperative Officer, Warangal. When the matter was taken up, the District Cooperative Officer passed an order on 21.8.1998 pointing out that prior approval of the District Level Committee is required to be obtained before suspending or removing the Secretary from service and since no such prior approval has been obtained by the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society, they were directed to reinstate the petitioner back into service. It is not in dispute that the services of the writ petitioner could not have been dealt with in the manner in which it was done through its order dated 19.5.1998 without obtaining prior approval. Therefore, the orders passed on 19.5.1998 are clearly unsustainable. But, however, it has been pointed out by the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents that on a request of the petitioner, the writ petitioner has been deputed to function as a Secretary of Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society, Medaram and in view of the continuance in service of the writ petitioner pursuant to the interim order passed by this Court and in view of the fact that the writ petitioner himself has solicited to work as the Secretary of Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society, at Medaram, no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. -------------- knk 31.07.2007
