THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18148 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as Anganwadi Worker in the year 2002 for penubaka Village, Rajam Mandal, Srikakulam District. The Chief Development Project Officer, I.C.D.S. Project, Rajam, respondent No.3 herein, removed the petitioner, through proceedings, dated 18.08.2009. The same is challenged in this writ petition. The petitioner contends that she was not issued any show cause notice requiring her to explain as to why she shall not be removed from service and the impugned order is defective. It is also her case that for all the memos that were mentioned in the impugned order, she has submitted her explanations. The respondents filed a counter-affidavit stating that the petitioner did not attend to the duties on several occasions and has committed default in maintenance of records etc. It is also stated that a show cause notice was issued on 07.07.2009, requiring her to explain as to why she shall not be removed from service and the explanation submitted by the petitioner was not found to be satisfactory. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Women Development and Child Welfare. The petitioner is functioning as Anganwadi Worker from the year 2002 onwards. In the impugned order, several acts and omissions on the part of the petitioner were mentioned. Reference was also made to various memos issued from time to time. This Court cannot sit as an appellate authority against the orders of removal, in case the basic requirement of issuance of show cause notice is complied with. The impugned order clearly discloses that respondent No.3 issued show cause notice, dated 07.07.2009, pointing out the acts and omissions on the part of the petitioner. On receipt of the same, the petitioner submitted her explanation. The impugned order was passed only after consideration of the explanation. In a way, the petitioner has admitted faults on her part and sought time to rectify the same. This Court does not find any serious irregularity or infirmity in the impugned order. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:15.07.2010 kdl
