IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 917 of 2008 (M/S) Sushil Kumar S/O Ilam Chand, R/O Village Bajuheri, Tehsil Roorkee, District Haridwar. …… Petitioner. Versus State of Uttarakhand through Secretary Revenue, Civil Secretariat, Dehradun and three others. … Respondents. Sri Ajay Veer Pundir, learned counsel for the petitioner. Sri K.P.Upadhyay, learned Addl. C.S.C. for the State-respondents. Date June 05, 2008. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Sri Ajay Veer Pundir, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri K.P.Upadhyay, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the State-respondents. This writ petition has been filed for issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari quashing the impugned order dated 02-04-2008 passed by respondent no.3 (contained in Annexure No. 2 to the writ petition), whereby the income certificate No. 6728 dated 10-9-2007 issued in favour of the petitioner has been cancelled. According to the petitioner, he applied for the income certificate before respondent no. 4 and after necessary enquiry, the respondent no. 4 had issued income certificate No. 6728 dated 10- 9-2007 certifying therein that the income of the petitioner is Rs. 16,800/- per annum. The only grievance of the petitioner is that the income certificate issued in his favour has been cancelled by the respondent no. 3 without affording any opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. 2 The learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel has fairly conceded that from a perusal of the impugned order, prima facie it does not appear that any opportunity of hearing was given to the petitioner. The respondents may pass fresh order in the matter after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. In the circumstances of the case, the respondents shall decide the matter afresh after affording reasonable opportunity of hearing to the petitioner within a period of four weeks from the date of production of certified copy of this order and till then, the impugned order (Annexure No. 2), whereby the income certificate issued in favour of the petitioner has been cancelled, shall be kept in abeyance. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of finally. All pending applications stand disposed of. ( B.S.Verma, J. ) RCP 3 4
