DATE : APRIL 15, 2009 DATE : APRIL 15, 2009 DATE : APRIL 15, 2009 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. The dispute is in respect of retirement of the teacher where the Petitioner was to be appointed to the post of Respondent No.4. The School Management appointed the Petitioner which order was approved by the authorities, but lateron, the approval was withdrawn on an application made by Respondent No.4 before the Education Officer. From the Education Officer’s order which is impugned in this petition [-2-] and also from his counter affidavit, it is clear that while he heard the Respondent No.4, he did not hear the Management which was represented by Administrator at that time. Presently, there is a Management. He also did not hear the Petitioner in whose favour an order has been passed which was set aside by him. Therefore, on the grounds of violation of the Rules of natural justice, we allow this writ petition and set aside the order passed by the Respondent No.5. Let the petitioner continue in terms of order passed in his favour by the Management for a period of four weeks. During the period of four weeks, the Respondent-Education Officer shall hear the Respondent No.4, the Petitioner and also the Management and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. 2. Petition is disposed of. [BILAL NAZKI, J.] [BILAL NAZKI, J.] [BILAL NAZKI, J.] [SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI, J.] [SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI, J.] [SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI, J.]
