JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) This appeal has been preferred against the order dated
14.05.2009 passed in W.P(S) NO.894/2009 by which the learned
Single Judge had allowed the writ petition and was pleased to set
aside the order of termination of the petitioner/respondent no.7
herein granting liberty to the respondent-appointing authority to take
legal action against the respondent no.7 in accordance with law after
following due procedure established by law and at least after
following principle of natural justice.
(2.) The implication of this order is absolutely clear as the
petitioner/respondent no.7 herein had assailed the order of
termination as Anganbari Sewika on the plea that she was removed
from the service even without any show cause or opportunity of
hearing. That was the reason for her to file the writ petition before
the learned Single Bench and the subsequent appointee on the post
who is the appellant herein was also impleaded. However, the
learned Single Judge although was pleased to set aside the order of
termination of the petitioner/respondent no.7 herein, no direction
had been issued to disturb the appointment of the appellant who was
respondent no.7 in the writ petition and no direction was issued by
the learned Single Judge to affect any one who was appointed later
including the appellant herein. The order passed by the learned
Single Judge is merely to the effect that the respondent-appointing
authority should not have terminated the services of the
petitioner/respondent no.7 in this appeal as no opportunity of
hearing was awarded to her before removing her from service. The
learned Single Judge thus, interfered in the writ petition only to the
extent by which opportunity of hearing was ordered to be granted to
the petitioner/respondent no.7 herein before removing her from
service.
(3.) This appeal has been preferred by the appellant who had
been impleaded as respondent no.7 in the writ petition had been
appointed in place of the petitioner/respondent no.7 in this appeal.
The learned Single Judge, however, has not recorded any
observation affecting the appointment of the appellant/respondent
no.7 herein but, by virtue of a consequence, if the
appellant/respondent no.7 herein has been affected, that obviously
would be a fresh cause of action for her to challenge her termination
and the same cannot be entertained by way of an appeal as there is
no direction in the impugned order affecting the appointment of the
appellant/respondent no.7 herein. Hence, the appeal, at the instance
of the appellant who was respondent no.7 in the writ petition cannot
be entertained.
The appeal, therefore, is dismissed.;
