The grievance of the petitioner is that on 13-07-2019, he made an appeal through SPANDANA to the 4th respondent seeking to remove the 6th respondent from services as Anganwadi Teacher who is not a local married woman and belongs to Honnampalli Village, Parigi Mandal and not to Dandepalli Village, Roddam mandal and further requested to appoint local married woman to that post. Basing on that enquiry report, the 4th respondent issued a Show Cause Notice of removal vide MEMO.No.1582/B/19 dated 23-09-2019 seeking explanation from the 6th respondent within three (3) days. But, the 6th respondent did not choose to submit any explanation till now. Again on 18-12-2019, the 5th respondent issued a show cause notice of removal vide No.1582/B/2019 seeking the 6th respondent to submit explanation within 15 days of receipt of this memo for not giving any explanation to the earlier memos issued by the higher officers regarding why her name shall not be referred to the higher authorities for removal from services. Thereafter, the 6‘^ respondent instead of giving explanation to the Memo No. 1582/8/2019 dt. 18-12-2019, to escape from the dutches of law she hatched a novel plan of attempting to commit suicide by having pain killers.
Thereafter, on 20-12-2019, i.e., just within two days of getting show cause notice of removal from the 5‘^ respondent she took pain killers and attempted to commit suicide and implicated the petitioner in falsely in a crime and F.I.R.

i 3 (Prohibition of Atrocities) Act, 1989 got registered against the petitioner, it is th stated that just because the petitioner is proceeding legally against the 6 respondent's illegal appointment and the irregularities done by her as a Anganwadi Teacher, she filed a case against him. But, the respondent Nos.1 to 5 instead of removing the 6**^ respondent from services as Anganwadi Teacher they have been continuing her illegally just because she attempted to commit suicide that too taking pain killers. But the respondent nos.1 to 5 not following the guidelines and not even issuing notification illegally appointed the 6**^ respondent to the post of Anganwadi Teacher on 27-04-2013 vide Questioning the same, the present writ Proceedings No.07/ICDS/2013. petition came to be filed. 3.

5. Per contra, learned Government Pleader for the official respondents sought one week time for getting instructions. However, her request is not considered.
6. As seen from the counter affidavit filed by the 4**^ respondent. Wherein, at para-11, it is observed that, it is proved that, the 6**^ respondent
4 has submitted the fake residential certificates before the District Selection Committee for recruitment of Anganwadi Workers & AW Helpers in Anantapuramu district and she got the Anganwadi Worker post, it is violation of recruitment procedure, hence same to be placed before the District Selection Committee for initiating suitable action against the 6*^ respondent.
