THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1308 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner approached this Court by filing W.P.No.26233 of 2006 assailing a Memo, dated 09.08.2004, issued by the third respondent removing the petitioner from the post of Anganwadi Worker. The writ petition was allowed on 26.02.2007 on the ground that the petitioner was not put on notice before the impugned order was passed. It was left open to the respondents to pass fresh orders after issuing notice to the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that no steps have been taken by the respondents. Heard Smt.K.Aruna, the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Women Development and Child Welfare. The petitioner states that she was not served with show cause notice or any other proceedings and alleges that the respondents have proceeded to fill the vacancy. A detailed counter affidavit is filed by the respondents. It is stated that the petitioner did not respond to repeated notices and ultimately, the vacancy was filled. The fact, however, remains that no order of removal was passed subsequent to the writ petition. A copy of the show cause notice, dated 25.09.2007, is placed before this Court. This Court is of the view that the petitioner deserves to be given an opportunity to file her explanation to the show cause notice. Hence, the contempt case is closed, directing that it shall be open to the petitioner to submit her explanation to the show cause notice, dated 25.09.2007, within ten (10) days from today, without waiting for any further formalities. The appointing authority shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of four (4) weeks thereafter. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:21.08.2009 kdl
