The Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.1461 of 2010 Dated 20th July, 2010 Between: S.Lakshmi Narayanamma and 15 others …Petitioners And The Government of Andhra Pradesh and 5 others. …Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri M.Santosh Kumar for Sri.C.Damodar Reddy Counsel for respondent No.1: AGP for School Education Counsel for respondent Nos.2 to 6: None appeared The Court made the following: Order: At the interlocutory stage, the Writ Petition is taken up for hearing and disposal having regard to its nature. The petitioners, who are cooks/implementing agencies under mid-day meal scheme in different areas in Kadapa district, filed the present Writ Petition apprehending their displacement by the respondents without following due process of law. The petitioners were appointed as cooks/implementing agencies and have been continuing as such. It is pleaded by the petitioners that at the instance of the rival women groups/societies, respondent Nos.3 to 6 have been making preparations to discontinue their services without assigning any reasons or issuing notices to them. This proposed action is assailed in this Writ Petition. A counter-affidavit is filed by respondent No.3, wherein it is inter alia stated that as several complaints were received against petitioner Nos.1 and 2 regarding serious irregularities in implementing the mid-day meal scheme, separate showcause notices were issued to them by the Mandal Educational Officer, Kamalapuram, on 18-09- 2009, and that in response to the said notices, explanations were submitted by them and that their explanations were found to be wholly irrelevant. It is further stated that no action has been taken so far on the said showcause notices and appropriate action in this regard will be taken in terms of GO.Ms.No.94, dated 25- 11-2002. It is further stated that action against the other petitioners will be taken only after following the prescribed procedure under the extant rules and guidelines in terms of GO.Ms.No.94, dated 25-11-2002. From the contents of the counter-affidavit noted above, it is clear that so far showcause notices have been issued to petitioner Nos.1 and 2 only and if any action is contemplated against the other petitioners, the same will be taken after following the procedure prescribed under GO.Ms.No.94, dated 25-11-2002. In my opinion, the Writ Petition is premature and the same is accordingly disposed of as such. The petitioners are entitled to avail their legal remedies, if and when their agencies are terminated by the respondents. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, interim order, dated 29-01-2010, is vacated and WPMP.No.1935 of 2010 is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 20th July, 2010 lur
