BANGAON, DISTT- SAHARSA ----------- 2. 7.1.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Assailing the appellate order of the Commissioner dated 16.4.2009, affirming the order of the District Magistrate dated 25.8.2008, removing the petitioner from the post of Anganbari Sewika, learned counsel submits that the appellate order is cryptic and non-speaking in three lines. The law stands well settled that a right to appeal is a valuable right. An appellate order is required to be speaking in nature displaying application of mind to the issues involved, the decision of the original authority, the grounds urged in the memo of appeal to counter the same, followed by an independent reasoning and conclusion of the appellate authority accepting or rejecting the grounds in the memo of appeal based on materials available on record. 2 These are now considered an integral part of the principles of natural justice. All these are wanting in the impugned order dated 16.4.2009. It is, accordingly, set aside. The matter is remanded to the appellate authority to pass a fresh, reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before him and the grant of personal hearing to the petitioner again, if he so requests. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
