The petitioner questions the order dated 23.6.2009 as affirmed by the District Magistrate in Anganwari Service Appeal No. 40 of 2009, on the short ground that her removal was in violation of the principles of natural justice. Learned counsel for the State from the discussion in the orders impugned is unable to satisfy this Court that the petitioner was served with a show cause notice and her services then dispensed with. On the contrary the order of the original authority dated 23.6.2009 recites that there was no need for a show cause notice. The appellant authority noticed her objection but declines to decide it. 2 In view of the law settled by this Court in 2004(2) PLJR 833 that issuance of a show cause notice was mandatory, the impugned orders are set aside without prejudice to the rights of the respondents. The petitioner stands reinstated. The application stands allowed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
