THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23389 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as Field Assistant for Chinnagollapalle Village, T.Sundupalle Mandal, Kadapa District. A show- cause notice was issued on 04-11-2010 alleging that the petitioner misappropriated certain amount. The petitioner submitted his explanation on 16-11-2010. The 2nd respondent passed an order, dated 28-12-2010 removing the petitioner from service as Field Assistant. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the 2nd respondent. This is not a case where the services of the petitioner were terminated without any notice. The order itself refers to the show-cause notice issued to the petitioner and the explanation submitted by him. This Court cannot sit as an appellate authority, where the order was passed considering the explanation of the petitioner. If the petitioner is so advised, he can avail the remedy of appeal to the District Collector. The appellate authority can call for the record and arrive at its own conclusions. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal before the District Collector. The appeal shall be entertained without raising any objection as to the limitation, if it is presented within four weeks from today. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 23-08-2011 Note: Issue C.C. in one week (B/o) Prv
