THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION NO.2921 of 2011 DATED: 11.02.2011 Between: B. Jangaiah ….. Petitioner AND The District Collector, Mahabub Nagar and others ….Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION NO.2921 of 2011 O R D E R: The writ petitioner is working as a Field Assistant under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme at Avanchaa Gram Panchayat, Timajipet Mandal of Mahabub Nagar District. He filed this writ petition because of the inordinate delay on the part of the respondents in finalizing further action in terms of the show cause notice dated 10.05.2010 issued to him. In the impugned show cause notice, it is alleged that the writ petitioner has drawn a sum of Rs.24,259/- recording some benami names in the register and alleging that he has disbursed the wages to them. The writ Petitioner has filed his detailed explanation on 19.05.2010 disputing the said averments. It is only appropriate that the respondents should consider the explanation as expeditiously as possible as more than six months time has already elapsed. Therefore, the respondents are directed to finalise the action in terms of their show cause notice dated 10.05.2010 and pass appropriate orders and communicate the same to the writ petitioner. It is needless to observe in case the respondents have chosen to conduct an enquiry, they will afford a reasonable opportunity to the writ petitioner to participate therein and bring forth such defence as is available to him. With this observation, this writ petition stands disposed of. No costs. ----------------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J 11th February 2011 bud
