Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order On Board 19.02.2021

1. The challenge in the present writ petition is to the order Annexure P-9 dated 29.10.2020 whereby the services of the petitioner from the post

of Gram Rojgar Sahayak, Gram Panchayat, Dumarpara, Tehsil Sakti, District Janjgir-Champa have been terminated.

2. At the outset, this Court is of the opinion that the said order of termination is an appealable order under the scheme governing the field and the appeal would go to the District Programme Coordinator appointed by the State Govt. in compliance of Section 19 of MNREGA.

3. Given the fact that an alternative remedy is available, the writ petition at this juncture stands disposed of directing the petitioner to avail the alternative remedy of appeal and thereafter if his grievance still remains, the petitioner would be at liberty to approach this Court afresh.

4. The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of. Sd/- P. Sam Koshy Judge Khatai
