dated 30.05.2016 (Annexure P/1) by which she has been terminated from her services.

¶24

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though petitioner’s services have been terminated by impugned order dated 30.05.2016 by Chief Executive Officer, Janpad Panchayat, Kawardha, District Kabirdham, but procedure as per the Circular/Scheme dated 02.04.2008 issued by the Women and Child Development Department, State of Chhattisgarh, has not been followed and without giving any reasonable opportunity of hearing she has been terminated from the service which is violation of the principles of natural justice and also the Circular/Scheme, therefore, the impugned order is liable to be set aside the petition deserves to be allowed.

¶25

Learned State counsel opposes the prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner and supports the impugned order and submits that the procedure has been followed by the respondents authority, therefore, the petition deserves to be dismissed.
