THE HON’BLE Smt. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 28032 of 2007 O R D E R: (Per THE HON’BLE Smt. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI) The present writ petition is filed challenging the order passed by the 1st respondent dated 26.6.2006 and the consequential order dated 17.7.2006 passed by the 1st respondent mainly on the ground that no opportunity of personal hearing has been afforded to the petitioner in the matter. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned special standing counsel for Commercial Taxes and perused the material available on record. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and having regard to the fact that no opportunity of hearing was afforded to the petitioner, we deem it proper to remand the matter to the 1st respondent for passing orders afresh after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. Accordingly, the orders impugned in this writ petition are set aside and the matter is remanded to the 1st respondent to pass orders afresh after affording opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner, subject to payment of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One lakh only) within a period of three weeks from today. The objections, if any, shall be filed by the petitioner within a period of three weeks from today. On such filing, the 1st respondent is directed to dispose of the matter after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, in accordance with law. It is made clear that in default of depositing the amount and filing objections within the period stipulated above, the order dated 26.6.2007 and the consequential order dated 17.7.2006 passed by the 1st respondent will become operative. The writ petition is allowed and the matter remanded to 1st respondent accordingly. T.MEENA KUMARI, J. G.ROHINI, J. February 13, 2008. MVB.
