The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed as Field Assistant under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (for short, ‘M.G.N.R.E.G.S.’) on 02.06.2008 and posted to work at Ardhaveedu Mandal and has been working as such. On 25.02.2011, respondent No.3 issued show cause notice stating that in a social audit report, certain irregularities have been notified and he was held responsible for the same and directed the petitioner to appear in person on 10.03.2011. In pursuance of the show cause notice, the petitioner personally appeared before respondent No.3 and denied the charges of misappropriation and submitted all the relevant documents and requested to examine the beneficiaries of the respective villagers. Respondent No.3, without adverting to the explanation or to the documents enclosed to the show cause notice, passed the impugned termination order and directed him to pay an amount of Rs.13,120/- and further directed the M.P.D.O. to register criminal case against him. So, the petitioner filed an appeal, dated 25.04.2011, before respondent No.2 and the same is pending adjudication. Respondent No.2 is not disposing of the appeal. Hence, the writ petition. 3. Heard. 4. The grievance of the petitioner is that he filed an appeal, dated 25.04.2011, before respondent No.2 against the impugned termination order passed by respondent No.3 terminating him from the post of Field Assistant, but respondent No.2 is not disposing of the appeal. Therefore, respondent No.2 is directed to take appropriate decision on the appeal, dated 25.04.2011, filed by the petitioner in accordance with law within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 27th July, 2011. Note:- Furnish C.C. by one week.
