THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.27807 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was working as Home Guard in West-Godavari District. A report was received from the Reserve Inspector, Home Guards Unit, the 3rd respondent, by the Superintendent of Police, West-Godavari, the 2nd respondent herein, to the effect that the petitioner disobeyed certain instructions. A show cause notice was issued to the petitioner, alleging that several complaints were received against him. The petitioner is said to have refused to receive the show cause notice. The 2nd respondent passed an order dated 23-08-2010, removing the petitioner from service. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner was not appointed on regular basis, against any specific vacancy. He was functioning as Home Guard on daily wage basis. A perusal of the impugned order discloses that, he did not obey the instructions of the superiors, and there existed some complaints. Further, when a show cause notice was sought to be served upon him, he is said to have refused it. Under these circumstances, the 2nd respondent was left with no alternative, except to pass the impugned order. Though there was no necessity to issue show cause notice, or to conduct enquiry, the 2nd respondent sought to serve a show cause notice on the petitioner. The petitioner has refused even to receive that. Such acts of indiscipline cannot be tolerated, even in case of regular employees. This Court is not inclined to interfere with the impugned order. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. It is, however, directed that, in case the 2nd respondent undertakes exercise of engaging Home Guards, afresh, the case of the petitioner shall also be considered. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.10-11-2010. KO
