IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CONTEMPT PETITION NO. 21 OF 2008 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 375 OF 2008 SHRI. JOE MARTINS ... Petitioner Versus THE COMMISSIONER, CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PANAJI AND ANR., ... Respondents Shri P. Rao, Advocate for the Petitioner. Shri Shivan Desai, Advocate for the Respondents. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 3rd March, 2009 P.C.:- Heard learned Counsel on behalf of the parties. The Petitioner was required to be heard in disposing off the show cause notice dated 21-11-2007. Admittedly, a notice to the Petitioner was dispatched on 5-9-2008 and the hearing was fixed on the same day. There is a controversy whether the Petitioner appeared before the Respondent-Municipal Commissioner. Both the parties are giving their own version. Nevertheless the fact remains that the Petitioner was not at all heard by the Respondent as required by the Order of this Court and notice itself was posted on 5-9-2008 when the hearing was also fixed on that day. It appears more probable that the said notice was not received by the Petitioner. An opportunity is given to the Respondent to strictly comply with the Order of this Court in disposing off the show cause notice dated 21-11-2007 after hearing the Petitioner. The petition is therefore disposed off on the above terms. It is made clear that the said Order passed on 8-10-2008 will not come in the way of the Respondent in disposing off the said show cause notice afresh after hearing the Petitioner and Respondent No.2.
