W.P.No.16347 of 2025 the post of community coordinator Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP),Kamalapuram Mandal, Kadapa district or any suitable post with arrears of salary and other benefits which the petitioner is entitled to and pass Counsel for the Petitioner: 1. PAPUDIPPU SASHIDAR REDDY Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. GP FOR SERVICES I The Court made the following: 3 CGR, J. W.P.No.16347 of 2025 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA GUNARANJAN Writ Petition No.16347 of 2025 ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Govt. Pleader for Services-I appearing for 1st respondent and Sri M. Hari Babu, learned Standing Counsel, appearing for respondents 2 and 3. 2. Petitioner has been removed from service by proceedings, dated 31.01.2018, as criminal case was pending against him in C.C.No.310 of 2015 on the file of Junior Civil Judge-cum-Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kamalapuram, for the offences punishable under Sections 409 and 420 of IPC. The said case later ended in acquittal, by judgment, dated 30.05.2022. Petitioner has, thereafter, made representation, dated 31.01.2023, requesting 3rd respondent to reinstate him into service as Community Co-ordinator. The said representation came to be forwarded by 3rd respondent to 2nd respondent for taking necessary action. As no decision has been taken, petitioner addressed several representations, one such latest representation was on 24.01.2025. As respondents are not taking any decision on the petitioner’s request for reinstatement, he preferred the present writ petition. 3. Sri M.Hari Babu, learned Standing Counsel for respondents 2 and 3, would submit that the representation made by the petitioner and also the recommendation of the 3rd respondent are to be placed before the 4 CGR, J. W.P.No.16347 of 2025 Executive Council and they are in the process of the same, once the Executive Council meeting is held, appropriate decision will be taken. 4. The removal order, dated 31.01.2018, categorically states that the said decision has been taken subject to outcome of criminal case in C.C.No.310 of 2015. As petitioner has now been acquitted from the said criminal case, the basis for termination gets obliterated. The request of the petitioner for reinstatement needs to be considered in the aforesaid perspective. 5. As the decision of reinstatement is stated to be taken by Executive Council, it would suffice to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to place the petitioner’s request before the ensuing Executive Council meeting and, in turn, take appropriate decision having regard to the fact that the very removal itself is subject to outcome of criminal case in C.C.No.310 of 2015. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending consideration, if any, in this case shall stand closed. _____________________________ JUSTICE CHALLA GUNARANJAN Date11.07.2025. cs
