HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27538 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as Field Assistant of Palem Village, Nakrekal Mandal, Naglonda District under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (for short ‘NREG Scheme’), in the year 2006. On the basis of certain allegations made against him in the social audit, a show cause notice was issued on 29-06-2010. Petitioner submitted his explanation on 09-07-2010. Taking the same into account, the Mandal Parishat Development Officer, 3rd respondent, passed an order dated 27-07-2010 directing removal of the petitioner from service. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed an appeal before the Additional District Programme Officer – cum – Project Director, 2nd respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that no orders are passed in the appeal preferred by him against the order of removal. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. 3. The Government did not prescribe the procedure to be followed for taking disciplinary action against the employees engaged under the NREG Scheme. In the recent past, this Court dealt with this issue in a batch of writ petitions and prescribed certain guidelines to be followed whenever disciplinary action is to be taken. The petitioner has already availed the remedy of appeal. The 2nd respondent can verify as to whether the prescribed procedure was followed, before the petitioner was removed from service. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to pass appropriate orders on the appeal preferred by the petitioner against the order of removal dated 27-07-2010, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J November 12, 2010. Note: Issue copy in three (3) days. B/O. KTL
