Verma, petitioner in person. Shri K.L. Dharmadhikari, A.G.P. for the R-1. Shri A.P. Thakre, counsel for the R-2. CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, J. DATE : APRIL 25 , 2011 . Heard. It prima-facie appears on perusal of the impugned order that the Deputy Charity Commissioner has not recorded a single reason as to why the petitioner should not be permitted to intervene in the matter in regard to the application filed by the respondent no.2 for correction of the entries in Schedule-I. In this case, it is necessary to note that the entries made in the year 1986, were scored off in the year 1997 and for the first time, the respondent no.2 sought the re-entry of the names of the persons on Schedule-I, as they were in the year 1986. Since this application was made belatedly in the year 2010 after a lapse of thirteen years from the date of the alleged scoring of the entries, the Deputy Charity Commissioner ought to have heard the petitioner, who wanted to point out before the Deputy Charity Commissioner that the scoring of the entries in the year 1997 were not due to clerical or accidental mistakes. 2 In the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, it would be necessary for the respondent no.1 to hear the petitioner so that the petitioner can point out that by the application filed by the respondent no.2, the respondent no.2 does not merely seek a correction of a clerical or an accidental mistake in the scoring off of the entries in the year 1997. Hence, for the reasons aforesaid, the impugned orders are quashed and set aside. The matter is remanded to the Deputy Charity Commissioner to decide the application filed by the respondent no.2 after giving an opportunity to the petitioner of being heard. The Deputy Charity Commissioner is directed to decide the applications as early as possible and positively within a period of two months from the date of appearance of the parties before the Deputy Charity Commissioner. The parties undertake to appear before the Deputy Charity Commissioner on 02.05.2011 so that issuance of individual notices to the parties could be dispensed with. The writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. JUDGE APTE
