THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No. 3071 of 2010 Between: P. Subrahmanyam Babu …… Petitioner and The Project Director/Additional Project Coordinator, District Water Management Agency under NREGS, Kakinada, East Godavari District. ….. Respondent O R D E R: The petitioner was appointed as a Technical Assistant in the year 2007, but however, the District Collector and Chairman, DWMA, East Godavari at Kakinada, by his proceedings, dated 24.01.2009, terminated his services and that of the similarly placed persons, 19 in number, on the ground that there is no need to continue the services of the Mandal Technical Servants and further, there was no sufficient administrative cost available to meet the expenditure for payment of remuneration and other charges. Now the case of the petitioner is that the respondent authorities are employing the persons like the petitioner, in view of sanction of funds and therefore, he gave a representation requesting them to consider his case on par with the others who are eligible to be appointed as Mandal Technical Assistants. However, no action has been taken thereon, so far. Hence, he approached this Court seeking necessary directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. The learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj, on instructions, submitted that on earlier occasions, the petitioner was regularly absent and the said absence was totally unauthorized. In the order dated 24.01.2009, it is nowhere mentioned that the petitioner was absent unauthorizedly or he was removed as a disciplinary action. A perusal of the said order simply shows that 20 persons were appointed as Mandal Technical Assistants and thereafter, all those persons were removed as their services are no more required and also for want of sufficient funds. If it is really a fact that the respondent authorities are considering the cases of the persons like that of the petitioner, they may consider the case of the petitioner also and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, keeping in view the fact that he worked as a Mandal Technical Assistant on an earlier occasion and gave a representation seeking to consider his case on par with the others. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. ----------------------------------- (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 15th February 2010 Note: Issue CC in three days. ksld
