IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15135 of 2009 1. LILADHAR SHAHU S/O RAMAUATAR SHAHU R/O VILL.- NARAHIA, P.S. LAUKHI, DISTT.- MADHUBANI Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE SECRETARY PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING DEPTT. GOVT. OF BIHAR PATNA 2. THE CHIEF ENGINEER PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING DEPTT. GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE SUPERINTENDING ENGINEER PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING DEPTT. PATNA CIRCLE, PATNA 4. THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING DEPTT. HILSA DIVISION, NALANDA ----------- For the Petitioner :- Mr. Md. Khusshid Alam, Adv. Mr. Arun Kumar Bhagat, Adv. For the State :- G.P. 17 ---------------------- 2. 26.11.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 8.11.2007 reverting him to the daily wage status after his induction into the regular establishment on newly created sanctioned post by order dated 30.11.2006. Learned counsel for the petitioner assailed the order to submit that without any finding of the illegality committed in the absorption in the regular establishment against a sanctioned post, the petitioner has been reverted. Learned counsel for the State finds it difficult to cull out reasons for reversion from the order dated 8.11.2007. The Courts have repeatedly held that reasons are the heart and soul of an order. Reasons are a facet of natural justice. Reasons control arbitrariness. Reasons give satisfaction to the citizen that he has been given a fair deal 2 but he was unfortunate that the law was not in his favour. These principles of administrative law are not new but several decades old. If notwithstanding repeated pronouncements of the Court, the respondents insist on passing non-speaking orders contrary to law, there is little that the Court can do but to set aside such orders. The order dated 8.11.2007 is non-speaking in nature rendering it arbitrary hindering judicial review, it is accordingly set aside. The application stands allowed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
