CWP No. 990 of 2008 & CMP No. 1575/2008 4.7.2008 Present: Mr. B. C. Verma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R. K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. J. K. Verma, Dy. A. G. for respondents No. 1 to 3. Shri Taran Kapoor, the then Deputy Commissioner, Shimla is present in person. It is admitted case of the parties that without affording an opportunity and following the principle of natural justice, the matter was decided by the Deputy Commissioner, Shimla. The learned Advocate General has fairly informed that the matter would be re-considered by affording an opportunity. Accordingly, the impugned order is set-aside with all consequences and the matter is remanded back to the Deputy Commissioner, Shimla for considering the same afresh in accordance with law expeditiously. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending application. ( Jagdish Bhalla ), C.J. ( Sanjay Karol ), J. July 4, 2008 (rana)
