Following facts are not in dispute : That the petitioner had applied for the post of Clerk- cum-typist in Maharashtra Road Transport Corporation. The petitioner was selected by the competent Selection Committee and was permitted to join the said post w.e.f. 2.7.2009. On 7.7.2009, the respondent issued Impugned communication whereby the selection made and appointment given by the respondent to the petitioner came to be cancelled without following the principles of natural justice.

Be that as it may, since the petitioner was selected by the competent Selection Committee and was permitted to join duty w.e.f. 2.7.2009, before cancelling the said selection and appointment, the respondent ought to have followed the principles of natural justice. Hence, we direct the respondent to re-consider the issue afresh and take a decision within a period of six weeks from the date of communication of this order by following the principles of natural justice. The petitioner undertakes to appear before the competent Authority on 29.4.2010. Needless to mention that the impugned order dt. 7.7.2009 shall not come in the way of re-consideration of the issue afresh by the competent Authority. By these observations and directions, the petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE jais
