Lakshettipeta, Adilabad District ..RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner:SRI.G.V.L.MURHTY Counsel for the Respondents: AGP FOR WOMEN DEVELOPMENT & CHILD WELFARE The Court made the following : O R D E R: This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.3 in setting aside the appointment of the petitioner as Anganwadi Worker of Medariguda Mukasiguda Village of Dondepally Mandal, Adilabad District, by proceedings dated 22-01- 2009, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner was appointed as Anganwadi Worker of the above mentioned village by order dated 30-07-2008. On the representation of one Kova Prameela, W/o Kova Lachu of Mukasiguda Gram Panchayat, the petitioner’s appointment was set aside by respondent No.3 by the impugned proceedings. The petitioner averred in the affidavit that neither a notice nor an opportunity of hearing was afforded to her before issuing the impugned proceedings by respondent No.3. In my considered view, the petitioner is entitled to an opportunity of hearing before issuing the impugned proceedings, which undoubtedly affect the interests of the petitioner adversely. As the plea of the petitioner that the impugned proceedings are not preceded by a notice has not been controverted, the impugned proceedings are set aside. Liberty is given to respondent No.3 to initiate fresh proceedings and pass appropriate orders, after giving the petitioner a notice and an opportunity of hearing. The writ petition is, accordingly, allowed. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 8th April, 2009 vrn
