1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO.4078 OF 2005 Pranav Balasaheb Waghmare. ... Petitioner. Vs. State of Maharashtra & Ors. ...Respondents. .... Mr. R. K. Mendadkar for the Petitioner. Mr. C. R. Sonawane, AGP for Respondent Nos.1 to 3. ..... CORAM : A.P. SHAH AND DR.D.Y.CHANDRACHUD, JJ. July 18, 2005. P.C.: The Petitioner has made a grievance that the impugned order dated 18th May 2005 is contrary to the well settled principles of natural justice and fair play in quasi judicial proceedings. It appears that the matter was heard by (1) Shri V. V. Deshmukh, Vice Chairman of the Scrutiny Committee; (2) Shri A. S. Gunjal, Member Secretary; and (3) Shri R. G. Mandve, Sr. Research Officer. It is fairly conceded by learned AGP that Shri M. A. Shaikh who is a member of the Scrutiny Committee, never heard the case of the Petitioner, but the impugned order is signed by Shri M.A. Shaikh, Member Secretary. In this view of the matter, the 2 impugned order has to be quashed and set aside and we order accordingly. The Committee is directed to decide the matter afresh within a period of two months from today. To avoid any delay in the matter, we direct the Petitioner to appear before the Committee on 25th July 2005. Petition is accordingly disposed of. .....
