CWP (T) No. 2429 of 2008 25.2.2009 Present: Ms. Ranjana Parmar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Adarsh Sharma, Advocate for the respondents. The learned H.P. State Administrative Tribunal vide order dated October 18, 1994 has passed the following order: “The present application has been filed against the impugned office order dated September 15, 1994 passed by the Divisional Manager, H.R.T.C. whereby the services of the applicant have been terminated, without approaching the higher authorities for redressal of his grievances and as such the present application is not maintainable. However, taking a lenient view, the present application itself is directed to be treated as representation to the Managing Director, H.R.T.C. who will consider the case of the applicant on merits in accordance with law and decide the same within a period of two months with liberty reserved to the applicant to approach this Tribunal again on the same cause of action, if he still feels aggrieved. It shall be open for the applicant to approach the Managing Director for interim relief. The application is finally disposed of in above referred to terms.” In sequel thereto, the Managing Director has decided the representation on 16.12.1994. A bare perusal of the office order reveals that the same is not a speaking order. Once the learned Tribunal had directed the Original Application to be treated as a representation, the Managing Director ought to have considered the grounds raised in the Original Application. Mr. Adarsh Sharma fairly submits that the Managing Director will decide the representation afresh and pass a speaking order within a period of six weeks from today. In view of this, office order dated 16.12.1994 is quashed and set aside. The Managing Director is directed to decide the representation afresh by a speaking order after taking into consideration the grounds mentioned in the representation within a period of six weeks from today. In view of the observations made hereinabove, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. February 25, 2009. (cr)
