Singh, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Onkar Kumar, Advocate For Respondent Nos.7 & 8: Mr. Rakesh Singh, Advocate For Respondent Nos. 9 & 10: Mr. Kumar Shekhar, Advocate *** 4 07.09.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. Petitioner is aggrieved by the order 2 passed by the Appellate Authority, as contained in Annexure-1 and its follow-up action, as contained in Annexure-2. Although it is recorded in the order that the petitioner had appeared before the authority but the said fact has been denied by the petitioner on oath in the writ application. In view of the assertion of the petitioner, this Court feels it appropriate that the Appellate Authority should hear the matter afresh after giving due opportunity to all the parties including the petitioner and decide the matter on merit after considering all the materials which may be placed before it by any of the parties and it shall consider all the issues and points which may be raised by the parties before it. If necessary, the Appellate Authority shall call for the original records and consider the same. This Court directs the Appellate Authority to consider the matter on merits after giving sufficient opportunity to all the parties to advance their submissions and produce materials before it. The Appellate Authority shall see to it that the documents which are filed by any party are served on 3 other contesting parties before hand. This also includes the original complaint filed by respondent nos.9 and 10 which would be served well in advance upon the petitioner. For this purpose, Annexures 1 and 2 are quashed. However, no right will flow to the petitioner as a consequence of quashing of the said Annexures and any consequential order shall await the final decision and orders of the Appellate Authority. The writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
