IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.908 of 2011 Date of Decision : January 18, 2011. Parminder Singh .....Petitioner versus Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Balram Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Sukhbir Mattewal, Advocate, for the respondents. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. Mr.Sukhbir Mattewal, Advocate, who is on the panel of the respondent-Corporation is directed to accept the notice on their behalf. In view on the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 29.10.2010 (Annexure P-2) withdrawing the previous order dated 10.8.2010 (Annexure P-1) whereby the respondents had accepted the appeal of the petitioner against the order rejecting his representation against the adverse remarks contained in his annual confidential reports for the period C.W.P.No .908 of 2011 2 1.4.2006 to 21.7.2006 and 1.8.2006 to 31.3.2007 i.e., for the year 2006- 2007. In my considered view, once the petitioner's 'appeal' was accepted vide order dated 10.8.2010, it was imperative upon the respondents to hear him before the withdrawal of the said order even if it was passed erroneously. As no opportunity of hearing has been given to the petitioner before passing the impugned order, the same is accordingly set-aside on this short ground with liberty to the respondents to issue a show cause notice to the petitioner and thereafter pass an appropriate order regarding sustenance of the previous order dated 10.8.2010. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. January 18, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
