1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 2723 OF 2009 Smt. Pali Bhailal Dubla. .... Petitioner. Versus The Slum Rehabilitation Authority & Anr. .... Respondents. Mr. Vaibhav Sugdare i/by Mr. A.B.Mishra for the Petitioner. Mr. Utangale for Respondent No.1. Mr. S.G.Surana for Respondent Nos.2 and 3. CORAM: BILAL NAZKI and MRS.V.K.TAHILRAMANI, JJ. DATED : 7TH JULY, 2009. P. C.: Rule. 2. Learned Counsel appearing for the respondents waive service of Rule on behalf of the respective respondents. 3. Heard learned Counsel appearing for the parties and with their consent the Rule made returnable forthwith and the writ petition is disposed of at this stage. 4. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No.1 passed an order declaring that the petitioner was not eligible for residential-cum- commercial accommodation without giving a chance of hearing to the petitioner. The order does not reveal that any hearing was given to the 2 petitioner. Although the case was adjourned number of times, no counter affidavit is filed by respondents and therefore nothing is on record to show that at any time hearing was given to the petitioner. 5. For these reasons, we allow the writ petition. The impugned order dated 1st April, 2008 is quashed and set aside. The case of the petitioner is remanded back to respondent No.1, who may decide the issues before it after giving reasonable opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. 6. Rule made absolute, accordingly. 7. No order as to costs. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (MRS.V.K.TAHILRAMANI, J.)
