RAJIVE BHALLA, J (Oral) Prayer in this writ petition is, for issuance of a writ of Certiorari, quashing the impugned order dated 17.7.2006 (Annexure P-4) and order dated 11.8.2006 (Annexure P-5) issued by respondents no.2 and 4 respectively. We have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned orders. A perusal of the order dated 17.7.2006 (Annexure P-4) discloses that though the petitioner was served with a Show Cause Notice and filed a reply thereto, no reasons,whatsoever, has been assigned, for fixing a liability of Rs.6824/- upon the petitioner. Consequently, on this short ground alone and without expressing any opinion, as to the merits of the present controversy, the order dated 17.7.2006 (Annexure P-4) and as a consequence thereof, the order dated 11.8.2006 (Annexure P-5) are set aside. The matter is remitted to the C.W.P. No.16894 of 2006 2 Director, State Transport Punjab, to decide the matter, afresh, after taking into consideration the petitioner's reply, in accordance with law. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( RAJIVE BHALLA ) JUDGE 28.1.2008 ( R.K. JAIN ) GS JUDGE
