By the Court.—This intra Court appeal arises from the judgment and order of the learned Single Judge dated 31.1.2012, passed in Writ Petition No. 3928 of 2012 (Ravi Kumar Sonker v. State of U.P. and others), by which the appellant’s writ petition challenging the order of termination dated 1.11.2011, passed by Adhyaksh, Nagar Panchayat, Bharwari, District Kaushambi (hereinafter referred to as the Adhyaksh), has been dismissed. The learned Single Judge has dismissed the writ petition on the ground that the learned counsel for the petitioner-appellant could not show any error in the decision making process, warranting interference under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.

2. The facts giving rise to this case are that the petitioner-appellant was appointed as a Clerk in Nagar Panchayat, Bharwari, District Kaushambi on the fixed salary of Rs. 3,500/- against the sanctioned post by the Adhyaksh. Pursuant to the appointment letter, the appellant joined. However, since juniors to the appellant were regularised, he Writ Petition No. 31134 of 2011 for his regularisation. In the said writ petition, on 1.11.2011, the Court directed the Adhyaksh to apprise the Court as to under what provision the petitioner-appellant has been appointed on contractual basis without advertising the vacancy when the persons are waiting for regular appointment. It is contended that the writ petition is still pending and because of that, on the fake charges, the appellant’s service has been terminated on the basis of the alleged temporary embezzlement. It is submitted that although the charge-sheet was served but without there being any enquiry in accordance with the Uttar Pradesh Municipal Board’s Servant (Inquiry, Punishment and Termination of Service) Rules (hereinafter referred to as Municipal Board Servants Rules), the services of the appellant has been terminated for the alleged misconduct of temporary embezzlement. For appreciation, order of termination is reproduced hereunder :
