BY GOVT. PLEADER MR. I.V. PRAMOD. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/11/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 28424 OF 2007 H = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 5th November, 2007 J U D G M E N T The complaint of the petitioner is that the hearing granted by the Scrutiny Committee on 1-9-2007 was not satisfactory and that he did not get an effective opportunity to raise his contentions. 2. Though it is a fact that the petitioner has been heard and that the matter has been taken for orders by the Scrutiny Committee on 1-9-2007 as stated by the petitioner, even according to the learned Govt. Pleader, final orders have not been passed by the Scrutiny Committee. Since final orders have not been passed even as of now, I think to secure ends of justice, the petitioner can be given yet another opportunity to raise his contentions as well. 3. Accordingly, I direct that the 2nd respondent shall issue notice to the petitioner giving him yet another opportunity of hearing and thereafter pass final orders in the matter adverting to the contentions WPC No. 28424/07 -2- urged by the petitioner. Final orders as above shall be passed with notice to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
