THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 21624 of 2010 O R D E R: This Writ Petition has been instituted by a former Field Assistant appointed under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme, pursuant to the result of the social audit that was conducted in December 2009, wherein it was reported that an amount of Rs.13,747/- has been booked towards the expenditure without executing any works. Based upon the said finding of the social audit, a show cause notice was issued to the writ petitioner on 29.05.2010, proposing his removal and ultimately, an order was passed on 11.08.2010, removing the writ petitioner from the office of the Field Assistant. The writ petitioner appears to have lodged a detailed appeal on 23.08.2010 with the Project Director, District Water Management Agency, Anantapur. Though not much of a time has elapsed since the filing of the appeal, complaining that the appeal has not been taken up and considered expeditiously by the 1st respondent, the present Writ Petition has been filed. I consider it not necessary to admit or issue notice to the respondent in view of the order which I propose to pass now. I have heard Sri Narasimhulu Parise, learned counsel for the writ petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for Rural Development and Ms. Vedavani, learned counsel for the 2nd respondent. With their consent, I dispose of this Writ Petition, directing the 1st respondent to entertain, consider and pass appropriate orders on the appeal said to have been submitted by the writ petitioner on 23.08.2010, aggrieved by the orders passed on 11.08.2010, removing him from the office of the Field Assistant. The said appeal may be disposed of within six weeks period from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 3rd September 2010 ksld
