THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.25163 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as Additional Programme Officer for implementation of National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme in Yellareddipet Mandal, Karimnagar District. In the social audit, for the works undertaken during current financial year, no irregularities were found against the petitioner. However, he was issued a show cause notice, dated 19.07.2010, alleging that he did not record pre-measurements for the deepening of old irrigation wells. The petitioner submitted his explanation on 10.08.2010. The 2nd respondent passed an order, dated 10.08.2010, terminating the services of the petitioner forthwith. The same is challenged in this Writ Petition. Sri A.Prabhakar Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that, in the social audit round-2, that took place between 7th and 18th May, 2010, nothing was pointed out against the petitioner and the show cause notice itself is vague and general. He contends that though a detailed explanation was submitted, the 2nd respondent did not refer to any of the facts, and passed the impugned order, in a mechanical way. Learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj, on the other hand, submits that the petitioner has alternative remedy by way of an appeal, and, in fact, such an appeal is being filed by the petitioner. The grounds urged by the petitioner are no doubt strong enough, to convince an authority to take a different view, if they are true. The documents placed before this Court, in relation to social audit round-2, do not contain any allegation against the petitioner. The show cause notice is also as vague as it could be. The 2nd respondent did not furnish any reason whatsoever and passed the impugned order, simply by referring to the show cause notice and the explanation. These, however, are matters, which can be taken into account, by the appellate authority. The petitioner has already availed the remedy. The appellate authority can verify the record and satisfy himself as to whether the livelihood and employment of a person belonging to SC community would have been taken away in a summary manner. The Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 3rd respondent to pass appropriate orders on the appeal preferred by the petitioner within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt:06.10.2010 Note: Furnish C.C. in one week.
