THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7885 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioner was appointed as a Field Assistant under National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme in 2006. Based on certain allegations, his services were terminated by the first respondent vide order, dated 03.06.2009. It is submitted that as against the order of the first respondent, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the third respondent on 20.06.2009. It is the grievance of the petitioner that though he filed appeal on 20.06.2009, the appellate authority is not considering the same as yet. When the matter came up for hearing on 09.04.2010, it was adjourned to enable the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj to get instructions so as to ascertain whether the appeal preferred by the petitioner is pending or not. Today, when the matter is called, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj that the appeal filed by the petitioner is pending consideration and the appellate authority is taking steps for disposal of the same. The impugned order itself indicates that an appeal lies to the third respondent against the termination order. When the petitioner filed appeal on 20.06.2009 before the third respondent, there is no reason for not disposing of the same till date. For the aforesaid reasons, I deem it appropriate to direct the third respondent/appellate authority to dispose of the appeal preferred by the petitioner on 20.06.2009 against the order, dated 03.06.2009, in accordance with law, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate a copy of the same to the petitioner immediately. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 13th APRIL, 2010. kvni
