Heard finally by consent of parties. The petitioners- Institutions by this petition challenges the fee fixation done by the Fee Fixation Committee. In paragraph 22 of the petition, the petitioners have stated thus:- 22. Further, the Petitioners submit that on 22 nd February 2010, the pvr 2 WP3940-10 hearing was given. This hearing, however, is given only by the Honourable Chairman of the Committee and not by the Committee itself. When we heard the matter last week, we asked the learned Assistant Government Pleader to take instructions as to the correctness or otherwise of this statement and the matter was adjourned. Today when the matter is called out, the learned Assistant Government Pleader has informed that he contacted Mr.Gaikwad on telephone and asked him to seek information from the Chairman in relation to the allegations which we have quoted above. The learned AGP also states that a letter was written on 10.6.2010 by the office of the Government Pleader seeking instructions in relation to the contents of paragraph 22. He further stated that there is no response from Fee Fixation Committee. In these circumstances, therefore, in our opinion, as there is no material placed on record by the respondents to persuade us to disbelieve the statement made in pvr 3 WP3940-10 paragraph 22 of the petition which we have quoted above. In our opinion, the following order would meet the ends of justice:- The order impugned in the petition is set aside. The matter is remitted back to the Committee for denovo consideration and decision in accordance with law. The Fee Fixation Committee shall make final order in the matter as expeditiously as possible. Rule is made absolute accordingly. No order as to costs. (D.K.DESHMUKH,J.) (N.D.DESHPANDE,J.)
