THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.27420 OF 2009 ORDER : The petitioners herein are appointed as Field Assistants under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme in June, 2007. Under the impugned order dated 26.10.2009 passed by the 3rd respondent, the petitioners were removed from services on the ground that their appointments were not made in accordance with G.O.Ms.No.471, dated 15.10.2007. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed contending inter alia that the impugned order which was passed without notice to the petitioners is arbitrary, illegal and violative of the principles of natural justice. It is also contended that G.O.Ms.No.471, dated 15.10.2007 has no application at all to the petitioners since they have been appointed much prior to the issuance of that G.O. Heard both sides. Admittedly no opportunity was given to the petitioners to make their representations before passing the impugned order. The said fact is clear from the impugned order itself. Accordingly, without going into merits of the case, the impugned order dated 26.10.2009 being in violation of principles of natural justice is hereby set aside and the Writ Petition is disposed of leaving it open to the respondents to pass appropriate orders afresh following due process of law. No costs. ___________ G. ROHINI,J. Dt. 16.12.2009 IVD
