THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No. 12072 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners were selected as Field Assistants under the NREG Scheme for Animela and Payasampally Grampanchayats, respectively, of V.N Palli Mandal, Kadapa District. The Project Director, DWMA, Kadapa, the 3rd respondent herein addressed a letter dated 20-03-2010 to the Mandal Parishad Development Officer, the 5th respondent, stating that the allegations against the petitioners were inquired into by the Assistant Project Director, Kamalapuram, and since they were proved, the petitioners shall not be given orders of appointment. The petitioners challenge the same. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development. The impugned order is totally untenable in law. The petitioners were not issued any show cause notices. It is not even mentioned that what is the nature of allegations against them. On being selected, the petitioners derive a right to be appointed. It is just ununderstandable as to how there can be allegations against the petitioners, even before they are appointed. Hence, the writ petition is allowed, and the impugned order is set aside. The 5th respondent shall issue orders of appointment to the petitioners within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is, however, made clear that, if the petitioners have incurred any disqualification, he shall inform them through a written notice, and take further action in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.22-10-2010. KO
