THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE BILAL NAZKI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE S.ANANDA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 26756 of 2005 15-12-2005 Between: S.V.Srinivasa Rao. ..... PETITIONER AND The Deputy Transport Commissioner & Secretary, Regional Transport Authority, Guntur & Another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE BILAL NAZKI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE S. ANANDA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 26756 of 2005 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, J) Heard learned counsel for the parties. With their consent, the matter is being disposed of at this stage. The grievance of the petitioner is that the order impugned was passed behind his back. He acknowledges that he received a notice on 25.11.2005. He had been given one week time to file the objections, but he could not do so. The time was expired on 02.12.2005. His brother unfortunately expired on 01.12.2005. In the meantime, the order impugned was passed on 12.12.2005. He submits that if an appeal is filed, he may not be in a position to place his objections before the appellate authority, as he has not filed them before the primary authority. In this view of the matter, we set aside the impugned order and direct the 1st respondent to decide the matter afresh, after giving a chance of hearing to the petitioner. The petitioner, may within ten days from today, file objections before the 1st respondent, without waiting for any further notice from 1st respondent, and also pay the tax of Rs.21,600/- within the same period, as admittedly he had not paid the tax. The vehicle may be released in the meantime, on payment of the tax. Writ petition is accordingly allowed. No order as to costs. ___________________ (BILAL NAZKI, J) 15th December 2005 _____________________ N.B: (S.ANANDA REDDY, J) Order by wire at party’s cost. (B/o) ajr
