THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.19951 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as a Paid Secretary in a Cooperative Society, in the year 1973. Thereafter, he was deployed in a different Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society. At one stage the posts of Secretaries were made into a cadre, and later on, they were de-caderised. In the recent past, Government issued G.O.Ms.No.67, dated 20-02-2009, permitting the District Cooperative Central Banks, to absorb the paid secretaries, wherever the primary agricultural cooperative societies find it difficult to continue them, due to the ceiling on expenditure, imposed under the A.P. Cooperative Societies Act. The petitioner submits that the District Cooperative Officer, Guntur, issued proceedings dated 28-02-2009, relieving him from the service of PACS, Phanidam, the 2nd respondent herein, and directing him to report to duty in the Guntur District Cooperative Central Bank Limited. He further submits that he reported to duty to the District Cooperative Central Bank, on 02-03-2009. The General Manager is said to have issued proceedings dated 02-03-2009, permitting him to join duty. The grievance of the petitioner is that he is not being relieved by the 2nd respondent, and he seeks appropriate direction in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. It is no doubt true that the Government issued G.O.Ms.No.67, dated 20-02-2009, enabling the District Cooperative Central Banks to take the de-caderised paid secretaries into their service, subject to certain conditions, and that the District Cooperative Officer issued an order in favour of the petitioner. It is however reported on behalf of the 2nd respondent that the petitioner was found to have misappropriated huge funds, and that he is facing surcharge proceedings. Unless the petitioner clears his liability, towards the 2nd respondent-society, he cannot be relieved from its services. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.22-09-2011. KO
