FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET No. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.2930 OF 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court’s or Court’s or Judge’s orders directions & Registrar’s orders -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr.S.V. Gavand for the petitioner. Mr.P.P. Kakade, AGP for the respondents. CORAM : J.P. DEVADHAR, J. DATED : 26TH JUNE, 2008. P.C. 1. Heard. Rule. Rule is made returnable forthwith. By consent of both the parties, the matter is taken up for final hearing at this stage. 2. Challenging the order passed by the respondent No.3 on 24-3-2004, the petitioner had filed revision application before the State Government and by letter dated 26-6-2006 the petitioner was intimated that the Revenue Minister has rejected the revision application filed by the petitioner. As there were no reasons given, the petitioner sought reasoned order. However, by the impugned communication dated 28-8-2007, the petitioner was informed that the application of the petitioner cannot be considered afresh. From the aforesaid letters, it is evident that no reasoned order has been passed disposing of the revision application filed by the petitioner. 3. In this view of the matter, both the communication dated 26-6-2006 and 23-8-2007 are quashed and set aside. The revision application filed by the petitioner is restored to file of the Revenue Minister. The Revenue Minister is directed to dispose of the revision application expeditiously and preferably within a period of four weeks from today, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. 4. The writ petition is disposed of in terms of this order. No costs. J.P. DEVADHAR, J.
