CWP No.2200/2007. 23.06.2008 Present: Ms.Urmila Thakur vice Ms.Ranjana Parmar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Mr.R.K.Bawa, A.G. with Mr.J.K.Verma, Dy.A.G., for respondents No.1 to 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that before passing the impugned order of cancellation principles of natural justice were not followed as no notice was issued by the Deputy Commissioner. From the perusal of record, it is crystal clear that no notice was issued by the Deputy Commissioner. Hence, the order is bad in law. The requirement of law is crystal clear that before passing any impugned order party concerned should be afforded an opportunity of hearing. Otherwise it amounts to violation of principle of natural justice. In the light of the above, the order passed by the Deputy Commissioner dated 11.12.2007 is hereby quashed. The matter is remanded back to the Deputy Commissioner to proceed afresh in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed. It would be open for the petitioner to report for duties where she will be allowed to work. (Jagdish Bhalla), C.J. June 23, 2008. ( Kuldip Singh ), J. (sks/s)
