Bhakta, Advocates For the Bhoodan Yagna Committee : Mr. Sarvendra Kr Verma, Advocate For the State : Mr. Amrendra Kumar, Advocate …………………… 4 23.08.2011 Heard the parties. Petitioner is aggrieved by the order as contained in Annexure 3 passed by the Chairman, Bihar 2 Bhoodan Yagna Committee, Patna whereby a certificate as contained in Annexure 1, issued earlier by it allotting certain pieces of land to the petitioner, has been cancelled even without issuing any show cause notice or giving opportunity of hearing to him. Learned counsel appearing for respondent nos. 6 to 9 is not in a position to controvert this contention of the petitioner. In above view of the matter, in the opinion of this Court, when the order for allotment has been passed in favour of the petitioner and certificate pursuant to that has already been issued by the concerned respondent (Annexure 1), the same could not have been cancelled by the authority without seeking a show cause or giving opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. Thus, the Annexure 3, the letter dated 1.4.2011 cancelling the earlier allotment in favour of the petitioner cannot be sustained in the eyes of law. Accordingly, the same is quashed and the matter is remitted back to respondent no.7, i.e., Chairman, Bihar Bhoodan Yagna Committee, Gardanibagh, Patna to consider and decide the matter afresh after giving opportunity of hearing to the 3 petitioner within two months from the date of receipt/production of the certified copy of this order if the same is produced by the petitioner within four weeks. It is made clear that the petitioner would be at liberty to raise all the grounds as he thinks fit before the concerned authority. This writ application stands allowed to the extent as indicated above. Sanjay-II ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
