IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA LETTER PATENT APPEAL NO. 11 OF 2009 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 79 OF 2009 MRS. SEEMA DILIP NAIK THROUGH ATTORNEY DILIP NAIK ... Appellant Versus STATE OF GOA THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY AND ANR., ... Respondents Mr. S. D. Lotlikar, Senior Advocate with Mr. P. Lotlikar, Advocate for the appellant. Ms. S. Mordekar, Addl. Government Advocate for the respondents. Coram:- B. P. DHARMADHIKARI & U. D. SALVI, JJ. Date:- 5th May, 2009 P.C. We heard the parties yesterday for sometime on the grievance made by learned Senior Advocate that show cause notice dated 27.2.2008 was not served on petitioner though he is a recorded purchaser. Today, we have heard parties further and we found it proper to send the matter back to respondent no. 2/competent authority to proceed further after its service in accordance with law on the appellant. It is urged that show cause notice dated 27.2.2008 does not include the portion purchased by present appellant while according to respondents no. 1 and 2 show cause notice relates to a bigger portion i.e. entire survey and portion purchased by appellant is a part. 2. In the circumstances, as we have found some defect in service of show cause notice, we find it appropriate to direct respondents to serve fresh show cause notice upon the appellant by Friday on 8.5.2009. Senior Advocate Mr. Lotlikar states that he has instructions and accordingly any of his Juniors will accept the said show cause notice, if tendered, on behalf of the appellant. Accordingly, we permit respondents to serve said show cause notice on Juniors of Senior Advocate and the said service shall be deemed valid service. 3. After such service, appellant to file his reply before competent authority within two weeks and competent authority thereafter shall decide the matter afresh in accordance with law as early as possible by end of June 2009. 4. In view of these directions, nothing survives in L.P.A. and L.P.A. accordingly disposed of. 5. The authenticated copy be made available to respondents. 6. In view of this, Civil Application is rendered infructuous and disposed of accordingly. B. P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. U. D. SALVI, J. *am/-
