IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Stay Application No. 4632 of 2009 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 847 OF 2009 (M/S) Sri Dev Raj Diwan son of late Sri Iswar Dass, resident of 145 Model Town, Sonepat Haryana. ……. Petitioner. Versus State of Uttarakhand through its Secretary Awas, Dehradun and two others. … Respondent. Date June 11, 2009. Hon’ble B.S. Verma, J. Supplementary affidavit filed by the petitioner is taken on record. Heard Sri D. S. Patni, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri Gopal Narain, learned Brief Holder for the State-respondent no.1. and Sri Shobhit Sharia, learned counsel for the respondent no. 2 and Sri Rahul Consul, learned counsel for the respondent no. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the State – respondent no. 1 has fairly conceded that the order dated 28.5.2009 passed by the Additional Secretary, Avas is not a reasoned order and requested that the petition be disposed of without filing the counter affidavit. I have perused and found that the impugned order dated 28.5.2009 passed by the Additional Secretary, Avas is a cryptic order. No reason has been assigned for affirming the order. Without entering into merits of the case, this order is liable to be set aside on the ground that no reason has bee assigned for affirming the order passed by the Commissioner, Kumaon Division which was impugned before the revisional court. The writ petition is allowed. The order dated 28.5.2009 is set aside. It is directed that the Secretary, Avas shall pass reasoned order after hearing the parties, preferably within a period 8 weeks from the date of production of the certified copy of this order. The earlier interim order passed in Revision No. 188 of 2008 shall continue till disposal of the revision. All the pending applications stand disposed of accordingly. (B.S. Verma, J.) 11.6.2009 RMY
