(2.) IN this petition, the petitioner has challenged the impugned termination order dated 25.08.2008 issued by the Director, Rural Development Department, Government of Arunachal Pradesh, Itanagar, and has prayed for setting aside the same inasmuch as the termination order was issued without initiating departmental proceeding against him.

(3.) MS. G. Deka, learned Addl. Senior Government Advocate appearing for the State respondents, submits that the petitioner's service was never regularized for his irregularities and he was working as Chowkidar on temporary basis and as such, no departmental proceeding was required to be initiated for removing him from service.
