S.B.C.W.P. No.5191/2010 [ Babu Qureshi v. State of Raj. & ors] Date of order: 25th May 2010 HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE VINEET KOTHARI Mr Bharat Shrimali, for the petitioner Heard the learned counsel. By order dated 19th March 2010 (Annx.8) services of the petitioner, who was working as Gram Rozgar Sahayak, have been terminated by the District Collector, Pali who was also working as Coordinator of the work under NAREGA scheme. An FIR No.41 was lodged by complainant Gangraj Meena under secs.420, 465, 467, 471 IPC against various persons including the petitioner for the work of road being not found and taking of payment from Government treasury to the extent of Rs.158451/- for such work which was never executed; the petitioner being Gram Rozgar Sahayak was also part of the team which is responsible for the execution of various works under said NAREGA scheme. In view of these allegations against the petitioner, which are, of course, subject to further trial by the competent court, said District Collector found that it is not in the interest of State to continue the petitioner under employment even on contractual basis and therefore, he terminated the services of the petitioner. After hearing the learned counsel, and after seeing contents of the said FIR, this Court is satisfied that this is not a fit case for interference under Article 226 of the Constitution of India as the said authority, after satisfying himself that the petitioner is responsible for said bungling in the work of NAREGA scheme and does not deserve to be retained in service under the contract, has accordingly terminated his service. The petition is, therefore, devoid of merit and the same is accordingly dismissed. Copy be sent to the respondents immediately. [DR VINEET KOTHARI],J. Item No.s-1 mma
