THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 22216 of 2010 Oral order: The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No.1, namely the Assistant Divisional Engineer, has passed the impugned order dated 15.06.2010, directing him to pay the shortfall amount, without providing any opportunity to him. The learned Standing Counsel for the respondent submitted that in similar circumstances, this Court in W.P. No. 18907 of 2010, directed the respondents to furnish the details and consider the objections, if any, to be filed, and then they are at liberty to initiate action. She further submitted that since the respondents furnished the details to the petitioner and granted 30 days time, there is no need to give any fresh notice. This contention of the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents cannot be accepted. Since it is the specific case of the petitioner that before issuing the impugned order, no notice or opportunity to put forth his case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The impugned order shall be treated as show cause notice to the petitioner. The petitioner is directed to submit his explanation thereto within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Thereupon, respondent No.1 shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _________________ N.V. RAMANA, J.
