THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.7614 OF 2011 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking to issue writ of mandamus declaring the proceedings in Circle No.NREGS/56/2011, dated 14-02-2011 and also the proceedings Rc.Lr.No.EGS-2011, dated 14- 02-2011 issued by the 1st respondent whereunder and whereby the petitioner was removed from service in one proceedings and was suspended from service in another proceedings as illegal and arbitrary and direct the respondent to reinstate the petitioner into service with all attendant benefits. 2. The petitioner was appointed as Field Assistant under National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (for short ‘NREGS’) about three years back. The 1st respondent issued proceedings, dated 25-11-2010 stating that in the social audit conducted, it was found that there is a misuse of amounts in the works relating to removal of silt from Maisamma Tank in Goparajupalli village and issued memo for recovery of the amount of Rs.1,82,635/-. Thereafter, the 1st respondent issued another proceedings, dated 14-02-2011 intimating that his services were terminated after conduct of social audit. He was not served with termination order till date. On his application under the Right to Information Act, the 1st respondent issued letter, dated 14-02-2011 stating that his services were suspended and further stated that an amount of Rs.5,38,622/- was misused in execution of works under NREGS. Both orders were issued without conducting any enquiry and without issuing any notice. Hence, the writ petition. 3. Respondents filed counter affidavit denying the averments made in the writ petition. It is stated that after making necessary enquiries on the facts, the petitioner was placed under suspension. The petitioner was directed to credit an amount of Rs.1,82,635/- since works were not carried out as stated. In the social audit it was found that no work was carried out since the tank was full of water and the work of removal of silt in the said tank does not arise at all. The petitioner who is the concerned Field Assistant awarded the works, which were not carried out actually and thus misleading the 1st respondent to pay the wages. The District Collector on receipt of the report of the Mandal Development Officer will sanction the works. The Program Officer and Additional Program Officer of the Mandal will execute the works through the Field Assistant and Technical Assistants. Nothing happens without the knowledge and consent of Field Assistant. It is the duty of the Field Assistant to execute the assigned works under his direct supervision. In fact, the petitioner admitted his guilt through his letter, dated 19-11-2010 addressed to the 1st respondent. Hence, they pray to dismiss the writ petition. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner contended that no opportunity was given to the petitioner to participate in the enquiry and therefore, it is a clear case of violation of principles of natural justice. 5. On the other hand, learned Government Pleader for respondents contended that a notice was given to the petitioner, for which he admitted his guilt and therefore, question of conduction regular departmental enquiry may not arise. 6. When the petitioner himself admitted the guilt, question of conducting regular departmental enquiry does not arise. Therefore, the impugned order needs no interference by this Court. 7. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________ K.C. BHANU, J DATED: 13-07-2011 Hsd
