Petitioner herein which is a Society filed this writ petition, inter alia, seeking to assail the orders dated 27-01-2003 wherein the request of the petitioner to amend its name was rejected. Though the case of the petitioner is that the impugned order came to be passed at the instance of anonymous letters, however, on perusal of the material on record, it is seen that only in the absence of the application by the Secretary of the Petitioner- Society, rejection was made. However, on the face of it, the impugned order shows that there was no any notice or any enquiry, much less no opportunity was given to the petitioner before the said rejection was made. Be that as it may, instead of going into the objections raised on behalf of the respondent, it is suffice to direct the petitioner to file fresh application having regard to the fact that the Body is a new one, which will be considered on merits uninfluenced by earlier rejection or this order. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that necessary material was already filed along with the earlier application, which can be relied upon for the purpose of fresh registration by the authority and therefore, the petitioner need not be insisted upon the very same documents. It is open to the petitioner to file further documents in support of its claim. Petitioner shall file the application within a period of four weeks from today and on receipt of which, the same shall be considered and disposed of by the respondent within a period of two months thereafter. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. 22—07—2004.
