THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.24271 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the second respondent in issuing Memo No.47/2007 dated 30.10.2007 instructing third respondent to terminate the services of the petitioners as arbitrary and illegal and consequently direct the respondents to continue petitioners as Anganwadi workers in their respective places of CDPO, ICDS Projects, Amadalavalsa, Srikakulam district. The memo dated 30.10.2007 is under challenge on the ground that no notice of any kind was issued nor any enquiry was conducted. In the counter also, except stating that the enquiry was conducted, nothing is stated and in the impugned proceedings also, no details have been furnished. Therefore, I am of the opinion that the impugned order was passed in gross violation of principles of natural justice and the procedure as required under law. Therefore, the impugned order of termination is liable to be set aside and accordingly set aside. However, this will not preclude the respondents from proceeding with disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner, if they are so advised. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 17.1.2008 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.24271 of 2007 17.1.2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.
