HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No.17332 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondents in removing the petitioner from the rolls of Field Assistant, Rebarthy Village, Maddur Mandal, Warangal District v i d e order, dated 04.06.2011, as illegal and arbitrary and consequently, direct the respondents to continue him as Field Assistant. The brief facts that are necessary for disposal of the writ petition are as follows: The petitioner was appointed as Field Assistant of Rebarthy Village in the year 2006 by respondent No.3. His salary was fixed at Rs.3,630/- per month. However, respondent No.3 removed the petitioner from service as Field Assistant on the ground that he committed irregularities during the course of employment. The grievance of the petitioner is that he was not issued any notice before passing the impugned order and no enquiry was conducted. He seeks a direction to continue him as Field Assistant. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the impugned order was passed without giving any notice and without conducting any enquiry and also on the instructions of respondent No.2 and hence, he prays to set aside the impugned order. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the respondents contended that as the petitioner is said to have been committed irregularities, his name was removed from the rolls of Field Assistant. Respondent No.3 is the appointing authority. Admittedly, the petitioner was not issued any notice before passing the impugned order and no enquiry was conducted, thereby, respondent No.3 violated the principles of natural justice. Further more, respondent No.3 acted as per the instructions of respondent No.2. Therefore, it can be said that the decision taken by respondent No.3 is not in accordance with law. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and the impugned order is set aside. This order will not preclude respondent No.3, who is appointing authority, to conduct regular departmental enquiry in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 24th June 2011 kdl
