Coram: The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Rajiv Sharma, Judge. Whether approved for reporting?1 __________________________________________________________ For the petitioner. : Mr. Arun Kumar and Mr. V.P. Sharma, Advocates. For the respondents. : Mr. Vikas Rathore, Deputy Advocate General with and Mr. R.P. Singh, Assistant Advocate General. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rajiv Sharma, Judge (Oral): Petitioner filed an Original Application No. 04 of 2003 before the erstwhile Himachal Pradesh Administrative Tribunal for the redressal of his grievance. The same was directed to be treated as a representation to respondent No. 3, i.e., Director of Education, Himachal Pradesh. The Director of Education has passed the office order rejecting the case of the petitioner on 7th February, 2003. A bare perusal of the office order reveals that the same is neither speaking nor detailed. Once the learned Tribunal has directed the Original Application itself to be treated as a representation, the same should have been decided by passing a speaking/detailed order, after taking into consideration all the grounds/pleas raised therein. 1 Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? - 2 - 2. Consequently, the petition is allowed. Annexure P-6, dated 7th February, 2003 is quashed and set aside. Since the dispute pertains to the grant of pay scale as per Annexure P-1, the Secretary Education, Government of Himachal Pradesh is directed to decide the Original Application/representation afresh by passing a speaking/detailed order, after taking into consideration all the grounds/pleas raised therein, within a period of two months from the date of production of certified copy of this judgment by the petitioner. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma) Judge March 18, 2011. (bhupender) - 3 - `
