THE BLOCK DEVELOPMENT OFFICER null KALYANPUR, DISTT.- SAMASTIPUR ----------- 2. 20.9.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondent nos. 2, 3 and 5. No counter affidavit has been filed by respondent no. 6. The petitioner was transferred on 5.9.2009 from the Block Office, Kalyanpur to the District Agriculture Office, Begusarai. His scheduled superannuation was on 31.1.2010. His L.P.C. was issued from the Kalyanpur Block by respondent no. 6 on 30.1.2010 with an endorsement for recovery of Rs. 59,500/-. The counter affidavit of respondent nos. 2, 3 and 5 states that the other grievances with regard to salary etc. has been redressed, which is not disputed on behalf of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the State submits that why the endorsement for recovery of the aforesaid amount was entered into the L.P.C. is for the respondent no. 6 to 2 answer. Counsel for the petitioner submits that no endorsement to his prejudice could be done ex parte without any notice to show cause as it is an administrative/quasi judicial adjudication. It is the specific assertion of the petitioner that in Paragraph-12 of the writ application, no show cause notice has been issued before endorsement. This Court holds that the said endorsement for Rs. 59,500/- in his last pay certificate cannot be enforced till such time that the petitioner is given a show cause notice disclosing the grounds for the same and final appropriate orders are passed after consideration of the cause shown by him. The writ application stands allowed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
