THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.11381 of 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a writ of Certiorari calling for the records pertaining to the order, dated 03.05.2005, passed by the first respondent-Government in G.O.Rt.No.785, Panchayat Raj and Rural Development (Pts.II-A) Department and quash the same as being arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner claims to be the Sarpanch of China Palakaluru Gram Panchayat. He states that he has been discharging duties as such for the last four years diligently without any remark. It is his case that a contractor, who supplies civil works material to the Gram Panchayat, played fraud on the Gram Panchayat as well as on him, by tampering the cheque issued in his favour towards works carried out by him. That immediately after coming to know the fraud committed by the contractor, the petitioner claims to have seen that the contractor made good the loss and that in spite of the same, the second respondent, namely, the District Collector (Panchayat Wing), Guntur, issued a show-cause notice, dated 13.08.2003, calling upon him to explain as to why he should not be suspended for a period of three months under Section 249(6) of A.P.Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, for which, the petitioner claims to have submitted his explanation on 18.08.2003. However, according to the petitioner, at the instance of some politically disgruntled elements, the second respondent passed order, dated 06.10.2003, keeping him under suspension for a period of three months. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner claims to have filed a revision petition before the Government and eventually, the Government dismissed the said revision petition by order, dated 03.05.2005. Questioning the same, the present writ petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents. Perused the material on record. Though the petitioner raised several contentions in the writ petition inter alia assailing the action of the respondents in issuing the impugned orders, the fact remains that there are serious allegations of financial irregularities levelled against him and the District Collector, after taking into consideration the report of the Revenue Divisional Officer, who conducted the enquiry, has passed orders keeping him under suspension and thereafter, the same was confirmed by the Government in the revision. It is to be noted that the jurisdiction of this Court under writ of Certiorari is limited and the errors apparent on the face of the record can only be rectified within the parameters of writ of Certiorari. This Court, having heard the learned counsel and having perused the material on record, is of the opinion that the petitioner has not made out any case, warranting interference by this Court with the impugned order in exercise of its Certiorari jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is devoid of merit and the same is accordingly, dismissed. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:21.04.2010 VGB
