PETITIONER AND The Joint Commissioner, Rural Development Department, Government of A.P., Hyderabad and others .....RESPONDENT Counsel for the Petitioner: Counsel for the Respondents: The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 28061 OF 2009 ORDER : This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the order passed by the 3rd respondent dated 12.11.2008 terminating the service of the petitioner as Field Assistant under NREG Scheme for Chittalur Gram Panchayat. Though various contentions have been raised assailing the impugned order, I am not inclined to express any opinion on merits, since an alternative remedy of appeal is available against the impugned order. Though as per circular dated 22.11.2008 issued by the Commissioner of Rural Development, Andhra Pradesh such appeal lies to the Project Director, DWMA, having regard to the fact that the impugned order was passed at the instance of the Joint Commissioner, Rural Development Department, Hyderabad, the Writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to prefer an appeal before the District Collector, Nellore within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. If any such appeal is preferred, the District Collector, Nellore is directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks thereafter. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J. Date: 23.12.2009 Ivd
