SBCWP No.5102/94. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR. O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5102/1994. Vishnu Dutt Gupta Vs. Rajasthan Small Industries Corporation & Ltd. Date of order : November 12, 2008. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Vinod Goyal for the petitioner. Shri Vijay Singh for the respondents. **** BY THE COURT :- Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties, I am satisfied that this writ petition deserves to be allowed on the limited ground that appeal of the petitioner has been mechanically dismissed by the Board of Directors of the respondent-Bank. The appellate authority has dismissed the appeal by a very cryptic and non- speaking order. In fact, appeal has been dismissed without the appliction of mind, which is evident from the perusal of the order dated 30/12/1989 signed by the Deputy Manager (Enquiries). The order indicates that decision of dismissal of appeal was conveyed to SBCWP No.5102/94. 2 the petitioner on a performa with the number of blank columns such as; name of the appellant, date of the order passed by the disciplinary authority, date on which the appeal is submitted and the date on which it is laid before the Board of Directors of the respondent-Bank. All these blanks are filled in and then order rejecting appeal is conveyed to the petitioner. Working of the respondents reflects callous and lackadaisical manner in which vital issues concerning of livelihood of the employees are dealt with by as higher authorities of the respondents such as the Board of Directors. Principle of natural justice requires not only hearing to be given to the person but also supply of reasons in support of the order so that the aggrieved party may come to know as to what weighed with the authority which rejected his appeal also for the purpose of consideration of courts in the event of such order being challenged, so that the courts may also examine as to on what grounds, matter has not found favour with such authority. Dismissal of appeal without assigning reasons in such a summary and mechanical manner in which it has been done by the respondents in the present case, cannot be approved of. In the result, the writ petition is allowed. The order dismissing appeal dated 30/12/1989 (Annexure-11) is quashed and set-aside. The matter is SBCWP No.5102/94. 3 remitted back to the appellate authority for deciding it afresh after providing opportunity of hearing to the petitioner within a period of three months from the date, copy of this order is produced by the petitioner before the respondents.
