Counsel for the Petitioners:SRI N.V.R.AMARNATH Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR MEDICAL HEALTH & FAMI.WELFARE The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.18958 of 2005 ORDER: Mass Action Social Service Society (MASSS) represented by the first petitioner was nominated as Urban Health Centre (UHC) for Shalim Nagar of Narasaraopet. Similarly, Adarsha Vanitha Vikas represented by second petitioner was nominated as UHC for Ramireddypet in the same Town. The performance of these UHCs and other similar agencies was reviewed by the ﬁrst respondent. It was found that their performance is not satisfactory. Therefore, by impugned order dated 20.08.2005 the ﬁrst respondent removed/dropped the two UHCs with immediate eﬀect, aggrieved by which, the present writ petition is filed. This Court admitted the writ petition on 25.08.2005. Subsequently, by order dated 01.09.2008 this Court dismissed the Interlocutory Application refusing to grant stay of all further proceedings pursuant to impugned order. By proceedings dated 10.07.2000 the second respondent (District Collector) informed that the Committee constituted under the Chairpersonship of the Collector and District Magistrate resolved to select the Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) to run UHCs. MASSS and Adarsha Vanitha Vikas were two NGOs. They were also requested to appoint staﬀ and get approval from the District Level Committee. All the NGOs appointed are required to fulﬁll the conditions laid down in terms of reference and any contravention would entail in cancellation of nomination. This only shows that the nomination of the petitioners as UHCs is subject to complying with the conditions of appointment. On a review, the competent authority found that the performance is unsatisfactory. Therefore, the ﬁrst respondent was justified in passing the impugned order. The Writ Petition is misconceived, and the same is dismissed accordingly. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 12.11.2008 vs To 1 The District Medical & Health Officer, Guntur, Guntur district. 2 The District Collector, Guntur district, Guntur. 3 2CCs to G.P for Medical Health and Family Welfare, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad. 4 2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{TRR}
