THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6572 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioners, who were appointed as Field Assistants on temporary basis, have questioned the order of termination, dated 16.07.2009 passed by the first respondent. Though copies of appointment orders of the petitioners are not filed along with the writ petition, when the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioners placed before this Court a copy of the appointment order of one of the petitioners. A perusal of the same shows that it was issued by the Programme Officer of National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS), to avail the services of the appointee as Field Assistant in various panchayats to work in the Office of the first respondent on a monthly consolidated remuneration of Rs.2,200/- per month for a period of one year with effect from 2008-09. It is the case of the petitioners that the impugned order was passed without issuing any notice to them and conducting any enquiry against them. The impugned order does not indicate any allegation against the petitioners leading to their removal from service except that it was issued as per the decision of the higher officers. In the absence of any finding, which causes stigma on the petitioners, no notice need be issued to the petitioners as they were appointed on temporary basis, that too, for a period of one year. Even the said period is also over now. Further, as per the conditions of the appointment, the respondents are empowered to terminate the services of the appointees on the ground of unsatisfactory performance or misconduct without any prior notice. Having regard to the nature of the appointment, which was confined to only one year and in the absence of any renewal of appointment, I do not find any illegality in terminating the services of the petitioners. The writ petition is devoid of merit and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 23rd MARCH, 2010. kvni
