MEMBER, DISTRICT TEACHERS EMPLOYMENT, APPELLATE TRIBUNAL, KAIMUR (BHABUA). ----------- 2 11.08.2010 The petitioner, by this writ application, challenges the order dated 04.02.2010 passed in Appeal No 39 of 2009 by the District Teachers Appointment Appellate Tribunal, Kaimur. Petitioner submits that though his appointment was directly under challenge and an issue, he was neither made a party to the proceedings nor noticed in the matter. Having perused the order and hearing the parties, in my view, the submission appears to be correct. Petitioner was not made a party but still his appointment was challenged and it was declared to be bad. I am afraid, it is well settled that a quasi judicial order has to be passed after notice to all parties concerned. In absence of notice and in absence of providing an opportunity of hearing, the order itself is void. Accordingly, I have no option but to set aside the order itself and direct the Tribunal to refix the date of hearing after notice to all parties. Petitioner needs not be issued notice but notice be issued to all other parties concerned on petitioner’s filing application alongwith copy 2 of this order of this Court. As the matter is old, the Tribunal would conclude the proceedings in accordance with law within a period of two months from the date of production of a copy of this order before it. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
