THE HON’BLE MS.JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.22076 OF 2009 Dt.15.10.2009 Between: Smt.K.Suvarna …..Petitioner Vs. The District Collector (Panchayat Wing), Mahaboobnagar District, Mahaboobnagar and two others ……………Respondents. O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the order passed by the 2nd respondent, dated 14.09.2009 terminating the services of the petitioner as Field Assistant in Yenmanbelta, Kollapur Mandal, as arbitrary and illegal. Heard both sides. It is not in dispute that a show cause notice was issued on 13.08.2009 calling upon the petitioner to explain the alleged irregularities. The specific case of the petitioner is that soon after the service of the show cause notice, she had submitted an explanation denying all the allegations and the same was received in the office of the 2nd respondent on 24.08.2009. However, in the impugned order, the charges were held proved on the ground that the petitioner failed to submit any explanation to the show cause notice. The material placed before this Court shows that the petitioner’s explanation was acknowledged in the office of the 2nd respondent on 24.08.2009. In the circumstances, the impugned order of termination, which was passed without considering the petitioner’s explanation, cannot be sustained and liable to be set aside on that ground alone. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the explanation of the petitioner, dated 24.08.2009 and pass appropriate orders afresh in accordance with law. No order as to costs. _____________ G.ROHINI,J Date: 15.10.2009 Note: Issue C.C. by 19.10.2009 B/o Tjs
