THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No.33326 of 2011 Date:27.12.2011 Between: K. Mahendar Reddy ……….Petitioner. And The District Collector, Chittoor District and another. ……….Respondents. THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No.33326 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of certiorari calling for the records regarding to the impugned proceedings dated 17-11-2011 of the 2nd respondent and quash the same, and consequently direct the respondent to reinstate the petitioner into service with all consequential benefits. 2. The case of the petitioner is that he has been appointed as Field Assistant of Chettevari Palem Gram Panchyat by proceedings vide ROC No.NREGs/2009, dated 13-07-2009 issued by the M.P.D.O., Chinnagottugallu. While so, on the ground of certain irregularities committed by the petitioner, the 2nd respondent issued impugned order dated 17-11-2011, terminating the service of the petitioner. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the impugned order is in violation of principles of natural justice since no enquiry has been conducted as per the procedure contemplated by the authorities for the purpose of dealing with the issue of termination of Filed Assistant and other employees making under NREGS. The petitioner sought to raise several grounds to say that the impugned order is illegal. 5. On the other hand, the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents would submit that in the similar matters, this Court while setting aside the impugned orders directed the respondents to issue fresh show cause notice to the petitioners therein and conduct the enquiry in accordance with law. 6. The only point that arises for consideration is whether the impugned order suffers from any legal infirmity. 7. The impugned order reveals that it was issued pursuant to the representation made by the villagers on 10-10-2011 and reports dated 15-10-2011 and 11-11-2011, and the explanation dated 14-11-2011. But the impugned order does not contain as to what is the report, how the report is conclusive, whether the said report is furnished or not and the impugned order appears to have been passed basing on the admission made by the petitioner, which is recorded as under: “He has agreed that he had committed the mistake and prayed for excuse.” 8. Admittedly, the petitioner is working as employee of Field Assistant on contract basis. There is no assurance with the contract of the petitioner in the event of termination. The allegation is that some villagers have made a representation that he was committed irregularities in performing the duties assigned to him. What are those irregularities, how they have been considered, basing on which evidence etc., nothing have been discussed in the impugned order. Therefore, the impugned order is in violation of principles of natural justice, the impugned order is set aside and the matter is remitted back to the 2nd respondent to consider afresh after giving a show cause notice to the petitioner and conduct an enquiry as per the procedure applicable to the issue and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. 9. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________________ Justice G. Chandraiah Date:27.12.2011. mrb
