1. The instant writ petition has been filed by the petitioner with the following prayers:

"It is, therefore, prayed that the Hon'ble Court may call for the entire record concerning the case and after examining the same, by issuing writ, order or direction or in the nature thereof;

i). And the order dated 30.10.2015 may kindly by quashed and set aside and the respondents are directed to reinstate the petitioner with all consequential benefits.

ii). Any prejudicial order to the interest of the petitioner, if passed during the pendency of the writ petition, the same may kindly be taken on record and be pleased to quash and set aside., iii). Any other appropriate writ, order or direction, which this Hon'ble Court may consider just and proper, in the facts and circumstances of the case, may kindly be passed in favour of the petitioner.

iv). Cost of this writ petition may also be awarded in favour of humble petitioner."

2. Briefly stated, the facts of the case are that the petitioner was appointed as Block Program Manager under the National Rural Health Mission pursuant to an advertisement dated 26.06.2008 issued by the Rajasthan State Health Society. After undergoing a due selection process, he was found suitable and was appointed on 10.10.2008 by the Chief Medical and Health Officer, Dholpur. The petitioner executed a contract of service and continuously discharged his duties with dedication and sincerity, earning appreciation through his annual appraisal reports. His contract was periodically renewed and extended in view of his satisfactory and unblemished service record. During the course of his employment, although certain show-cause notices were issued to him, the petitioner duly submitted explanations which were accepted by the competent authorities, and no adverse action was taken at that time. Despite his consistent performance, the petitioner faced administrative difficulties due to a lack of adequate support and facilities from the concerned authorities, which he also brought to their notice. Subsequently, a show-cause notice dated 14.10.2015 was issued to the petitioner, to which he submitted a detailed reply. Thereafter, by order dated 24.10.2015, he was directed to report to the Mission Director, NHM, Jaipur, and he complied by submitting his joining on 28.10.2015. However, without granting him any opportunity of hearing or issuing any further notice, his services were abruptly terminated vide order dated 30.10.2015 in an arbitrary and illegal manner, in violation of the principles of natural justice. Aggrieved by the said termination order, the petitioner submitted a detailed representation to the competent authority, which remains undecided. The impugned order has caused serious prejudice to the petitioner, compelling him to file the present writ petition challenging the legality and validity of the termination.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the respondents served a show-cause notice dated 14.10.2015 (Annex-7) upon the petitioner, alleging that he had remained absent from the office without prior intimation. He further submits that an explanation was also sough
