HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28145 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner was appointed as Field Assistant under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (for short ‘NREG Scheme’) for Erracheruvupalli Gram Panchayat, Poothalapattu Mandal, Chittoor District in the year 2006. A show cause notice was issued to him on 16-08-2010, alleging certain irregularities. Petitioner states that he has submitted an explanation and no orders have been passed so far. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are preventing him from functioning as Field Assistant. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj. 3. The writ petition was listed for admission on 12-11-2010. Learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj was directed to obtain instructions. He states that having submitted his explanation, petitioner stopped attending the duties. 4. It appears that no order of removal was passed against the petitioner in pursuance of the show cause notice dated 16-08-2010. As long as the appointment of the petitioner is not terminated or set aside, the respondents cannot prevent him from attending the duties. However, if the petitioner himself desisted from attending duties, he cannot complain of any illegality on the part of the respondents. 5. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that in case, the appointment of the petitioner is still in force and he reports duty, the respondents shall permit him to discharge his duties. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J November 19, 2010. KTL
