THE HONBLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.12394 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner herein is the elected Sarpanch of Amdapur Gram Panchayat, Bodhan Mandal, Nizambad district. This writ petition is filed questioning the show cause notice dated 24.5.2008 issued by the 1st respondent under Section 249(1) of the A.P. Panchayat Raj Act calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why he should not be removed from the office of the Sarpanch on the ground of committing irregularities specified therein. The petitioner was granted 15 days’ time to submit his explanation. The petitioner states that he has already submitted his explanation on 11.6.2008. In the circumstances interference by this Court is not warranted at this stage. The impugned notice being only a show cause notice, the writ petition itself is premature. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. However, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner is granted liberty to submit a further explanation, if any, within a period of two weeks from today. If any such explanation is submitted, the respondents shall also consider the same before passing any order pursuant to the impugned notice. No costs 17.06.2008.
