The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Writ Petition No.26247 of 2009 Order: Heard learned Counsel for the parties. With their consent, the Writ Petition is taken up for hearing and disposal at the stage of admission. The petitioner, who worked as Technical Assistant in the third respondent-National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, Anantapur District, filed this Writ Petition challenging the validity of Order, dated 29th July, 2009, passed by the second respondent in Rc.No.35/Ma Va /Sevala Upasamharana /2009, whereby his services were terminated. A perusal of the impugned order goes to show that the same was passed on the basis of enquiry report of the fourth respondent-Deputy Executive Engineer to the effect that the petitioner misappropriated an amount of Rs.5,57,717/- by preparing bogus muster rolls and binami job cards in connivance with other staff of the Scheme. It is submitted by learned Counsel for the petitioner that though serious allegations are made in the impugned order, no prior notice was given to the petitioner and that the petitioner has preferred an appeal against the impugned order before the first respondent-appellate authority on 6th August, 2009 and that the same is pending consideration. Inasmuch as the statutory appeal filed by the petitioner is pending before the first respondent-appellate authority and as his services were terminated as early as on 29-07-2009, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the first respondent-appellate authority to consider the appeal filed by the petitioner and, after giving notice and opportunity to the petitioner, pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. _________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J Dated 2nd December, 2009 lur
