Special Civil Application No. 9271 of 2001 MR SV PARMAR for Petitioners No. 1-5 MS PREETI S PARMAR for Petitioners No. 1-5 MR IM PANDYA, ASST. GOVERNMENT PLEADER for Respondents No. 1-2 MR MUKTESH V PATEL for Respondent No. 3 MR DG CHAVDA for Respondent No. 3 -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : MR.JUSTICE A.R.DAVE Date of decision: 19/12/2001 ORAL JUDGEMENT Rule. Service of rule is waived by learned AGP Shri I.M. Pandya for the respondents. Looking to the facts of the case, the learned advocates have requested that the matter be finally heard today. 2. The petitioners, who are working as clerks since 6th October 1983, apprehend that they might be reverted to class IV post. The petition has been thus filed on an apprehension. 3. In normal circumstances, the petition could have been disposed of as premature, but learned AGP Shri Pandya has very fairly submitted that the petitioners will have to be reverted because they were promoted because of some mistake. 4. Needless to say that even if the petitioners are promoted because of some mistake, they cannot be reverted without following due process of law. In the circumstances, if the petitioners are to be reverted, they would be reverted in accordance with law and only after issuing show-cause notice and calling upon them to show as to why they should not be reverted. If after hearing them the authorities come to a conclusion that they should be reverted, it would be open to the concerned authority to revert them. 5. In view of above direction, the petition stands disposed of as allowed to the above extent with no order as to costs. Rule is made absolute. (A.R. Dave, J.) (hn)
