IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP.NO.3271 of 2007 DATE OF ORDER: 14.2.2008 Yoginder Singh & Others ....Petitioner(s) Versus State of Haryana and Others .....Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. Arvind Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG, Haryana for respondents No.1 to 3. Mr. Ramesh Goyat, Advocate for respondent No.4. JASBIR SINGH,J (ORAL) Petitioners have filed this writ petition to lay challenge to order dated 1.3.2007 (P.3), vide which they were removed from the Board of Directors of respondent No.4. It is apparent from the record that the petitioners were elected as Directors of the Board of respondent No.4 in January 2006. In the mean- time, parent society, which they were representing, was amalgamated with many other societies and a different society was created. Taking note of that fact, a notice (P.1) was issued to them to show cause, as to why they be not removed from the Board. They filed a detailed reply (P.2), after considering the same, impugned order (P.3) was passed. We have gone through the order passed. It shows complete non-application of mind. None of the contentions raised by the petitioners in their reply (P.2) was considered by the authorities concerned. Very valuable right of the petitioners was involved, they were elected representatives of the society, despite that they have been removed simply by stating that their reply was not found to be satisfactory. It has further been said that they are not eligible to remain as Directors of the Board of CWP.NO.3271 of 2007 #2# respondent No.4. The quasi judicial authorities when passing such like orders, are supposed to give reasons for the same and also require to meet the objections raised by the person concerned in his/her reply, in case, any show cause notice was given. All these facts are lacking in order dated 1.3.2007 (P.3). In view of that, we allow this writ petition and quash order dated 1.3.2007 (P.3). However, liberty is granted to the respondent No.3 to take up and decide the matter afresh. Parties are directed to appear before the officer concerned on 29.2.2008, who shall decide the matter within a period of four weeks thereafter.
