IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT HYDERABAD FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA AND THE STATE OF
ANDHRA PRADESH
WRIT PETITION NO.11304 OF 2005
DATED 05TH OCTOBER, 2015
Between:
Smt. A. Laxmamma .. Petitioner
and
Child Development Project Officer, I.C.D.S. Achampet, Mahabubnagar Dist. and others .. Respondents
THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR
WRIT PETITION NO.11304 OF 2005
O R D E R
This writ petition was filed assailing the letter dated 03.05.2005 of the Child Development Project Officer, I.C.D.S., Achampet, Mahabubnagar District, whereby the petitioner was removed from service as an Anganwadi worker.
By order dated 15.06.2005, this Court suspended the operation of the impugned letter dated 03.05.2005 and the said suspension was made absolute on 14.09.2007.
Perusal of the impugned letter dated 03.05.2005 reflects that the petitioner was merely informed that she had been removed from service as an Anganwadi worker without adverting to any reasons therefor. As the petitioner had been appointed to the said post as long back as in 1984, this cursory dismissal of her services under the impugned letter does not meet the requirement of law.
On this short ground, the impugned letter dated 03.05.2005 is set aside and
the writ petition is allowed. Pending miscellaneous petitions shall stand closed in the light of this final order. No order as to costs.
