HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27019 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner was appointed as Additional Programme Officer under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for Karimnagar District. He was posted to work under the Mandal Praja Parishad Development Officer, Manthini, Karimnagar District, 1st respondent herein. Through proceedings dated 24-09-2010, the 1st respondent surrendered the petitioner to the 2nd respondent by referring certain allegations and requested that other Additional Programme Officer be allotted to his Mandal. Petitioner feels aggrieved by the same. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj. 3. The appointing authority is the Commissioner of Panchayat Raj. The Government prescribed the 2nd respondent as the disciplinary authority to take any action against Additional Programme Officers. The 1st respondent is not conferred with any disciplinary or other powers vis-à-vis the posts of Additional Programme Officers. 4. In case, the 1st respondent was not satisfied with the functioning of the petitioner, he ought to have simply informed the same to the 2nd respondent and awaited further steps. He cannot surrender the petitioner, on his own accord. The order impugned insofar as surrendering the petitioner to the 2nd respondent is without jurisdiction. At the most, the contents thereof can be treated as source of information to the 2nd respondent. 5. Hence, the Writ Petition is partly allowed setting aside that portion of the order impugned through which the 1st respondent has surrendered the petitioner to the 2nd respondent. It is, however, made clear that the contents of the impugned proceedings shall be treated by the 2nd respondent as a report as to the functioning of the petitioner and it shall be open to him to take necessary action on the basis of the same. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J November 08, 2010. Note: Furnish CC in one week. B/O. KTL
