Vs.
1. The Collector,
Dharmapuri,
Dharmapuri District.
2. The Joint Director (PD)/Project Officer,
District Rural Development Agency,
Dharmapuri, Dharmapuri District. ...Respondents
Prayer:- Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to issue a Writ of Certiorarified Mandamus, to call for the records relating to the impugned order of the second respondent in Na.Ka.No.3390/06/R4 dated 21.12.2006 and quash the same and direct the respondents to reinstate the petitioner in service with petitioner in service with all attendant benefits and render justice.
The writ petitioner questions the order dated 21.12.2006, whereby the writ petitioner was terminated.
- It is seen that the writ petitioner was appointed on a consolidated basis for implementing the Total Sanitation Programme in Pappireddipatti Block in Dharmapuri District. Admittedly, it was a scheme appointment. The learned Government Advocate now submits that the scheme in respect of which the writ petitioner was appointed itself has been wound up.
