THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23974 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as a Trained Graduate Teacher (T.G.T.) on 29.11.1989 by respondent No.1-Society. It is stated that by the time the petitioner joined the service, he acquired Post Graduation and B.Ed. qualifications. Through proceedings, dated 22.08.2005, respondent No.1 promoted the petitioner as Post Graduate Teacher (P.G.T.). However, through order, dated 10.09.2010, respondent No.1 reverted the petitioner to the post of T.G.T. The reason mentioned in the order was that in the B.Ed. Course studied by the petitioner, Telugu was not a subject. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Respondent No.1 himself considered the case of the petitioner for promotion and on being satisfied that the petitioner holds the requisite qualifications, passed an order in the year 2005 promoting him as P.G.T. If any defects are found in the order of promotion, respondent No.1 ought to have issued a show cause notice to the petitioner and pass appropriate orders after considering the explanation that may be submitted by the petitioner. No show cause notice was issued before the impugned order was passed. On this short ground, the writ petition is allowed and the impugned order, dated 10.09.2010, is set aside. It is left open to respondent No.1 to issue show cause notice and to pass appropriate orders, after considering the explanation that may be submitted by the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 28.09.2010. kdl
