PETITIONER AND Project Officer under National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, Office of the Mandal parishad Development Office, Mandal parishad Office, Thondangi Mandal, Thondangi, East Godavari District and another .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: Counsel for the Respondents: The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 27769 OF 2009 ORDER : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the order dated 17.11.2009 passed by the 1st respondent-Mandal Parishad Development Officer & Project Officer, Thondangi Mandal, East Godavari District wherein the petitioner who was working as a Field Assistant of Krishnapuram Village, Thondangi Mandal was removed from service as arbitrary and illegal. Though various grounds have been raised assailing the impugned order, I am not inclined to go into the merits of the case, since against the impugned order, an appeal lies before the 2nd respondent as per Circular No.7548 RD-V(1)/2008, dated 22.11.2008. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to prefer an appeal before the 2nd respondent within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. If any such appeal is preferred, the same shall be considered and decided by the 2nd respondent following due process of law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks thereof. Till such time, there shall be a direction to the respondents not to make any fresh appointment to the Field Assistant of Krishnapuram Village, Thondangi Mandal. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J.
