KANTHA RAO WRIT APPEAL NO : 727 of 2008 JUDGMENT: (Per Sri Justice B Prakash Rao) Heard learned counsel for both sides and at their request the appeal itself is taken up for disposal at the admission stage. The appellants herein are respondents 2 and 3 in the writ petition ﬁled by the respondents 1 to 3 herein, where they sought to assail the proceedings dated 25/5/2000 issued by the 4th respondent whereby the earlier proceedings of giving sanction was sought to be revoked. Shorn of the detailed facts, though both sides submitted across the bar, the short point that arises for consideration in this appeal is that on the facts and circumstances, when a sanction is sought to be cancelled, it has to be preceded by a notice and consideration of explanation. The learned Single Judge, taking into consideration the checkered events and especially having satisﬁed that the show cause notice issued prior to passing of the order is brief and does not contain any reasons, however, the ﬁnal orders dated 25.5.00 is a very comprehensive one pointing out several reasons and allegations on the basis of such, the said permission is sought to be cancelled. It is on this ground, the learned Single Judge found fault with the entire proceedings and set aside the same, with liberty to the authorities to take appropriate action in accordance with law. Having heard the counsel on either side and on perusal of the material, it is seen that admittedly the show cause notice preceding the impugned orders does not contain any reasons to show why earlier permission granted should be cancelled, however, since, all such reasons are being explicit in the ﬁnal orders, we are in entire agreement with the orders passed by the learned single Judge. It is needless to say that the authorities are at liberty to take appropriate steps and pass orders on merits after giving reasonable opportunity and personal hearing to the concerned. The above exercise shall be completed within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. Subject to above, the writ appeal is disposed of. No costs. ________________ B.PRAKASH RAO,J _______________ R. KANTHA RAO,J DATE:22.9.2008 Tvk THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO and THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.
