THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.25256 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as Additional Programme Officer for Atloor Mandal in Kadapa District, under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. He was issued a show cause notice, alleging certain acts of misconduct. The petitioner submitted his explanation and enquiry was also conducted. Taking the same into account, the Project Director, District Water Management Agency, the 4th respondent, passed an order, dated 26.03.2011, removing the petitioner from service. The same is challenged in this Writ Petition. Heard Sri D.Kodanda Rami Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj, for respondents 1 and 2, and Sri M.Subrahmanyam, learned counsel for respondents 3 and 4. The petitioner no doubt had advanced several contentions in challenging impugned order. The fact, however, remains that an alternative remedy by way of appeal to the District Collector, is provided. The appellate authority would be in a better position to call for the relevant records, if necessary, by causing enquiry, and arrive at a just and proper conclusion. The petitioner can avail that remedy. The writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal before the District Collector. The appeal shall be disposed of within a period of two months from the date of its presentation. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:09.09.2011 GJ
