Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner was appointed as Field Assistant on 01.11.2007 for Devanabanda Grampanchayat of Pattikonda Mandal, Kurnool District by the respondents and since then he has been discharging his duties as such. While so, the 2nd respondent vide impugned proceedings dated 12.09.2011 terminated the services of the petitioner on the alleged financial irregularities committed by him, without conducting any enquiry and without examining any witnesses. It is submitted that the petitioner stated to have appeared before the 2nd respondent and submitted all the documents relating to the execution of works and offered his explanation. Without considering the same, the 2nd respondent passed the impugned proceedings dated 12.09.2011. Hence, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that assailing the impugned proceedings dated 12.09.2011, the petitioner filed an appeal before the 1st respondent, Government, appellate authority, and the same is pending. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader and perused the material on record. The only grievance of the petitioner is that though he offered his explanation along with the documents, without considering the same, the 2nd respondent passed the impugned proceedings dated 12.09.2011, terminating the services of the petitioner. Assailing which, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent, appellate authority, and the same is pending without passing any orders. In that view of the matter, without going into the merits of the case, this writ petition can be disposed of with the following direction. As the appeal stated to have been preferred by the petitioner before the 1st respondent, appellate authority, the 1st respondent, Government, is directed to consider the appeal, stated to have been filed by the petitioner, and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, within a period of four weeks, from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, this writ petition is disposed of, at the admission stage. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH Date: 20.12.2011 LSK
