CWP(T) No.2208 of 2008 21.05.2009 Present: Ms. Ranjana Parmar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Additional Advocate General and Mr. Ramesh Thakur, Assistant Advocate General for the respondent No.1. The petitioner has made a detailed representation against the tentative seniority list of Executive Engineers prepared on 30.11.1991. The representation made by the petitioner was rejected by the Secretary of the respondent-Board without a speaking order on 28.8.1993 . It is settled law by now that the order which has severe civil or evil consequences must be reasoned. Accordingly, the Office Order dated 28.8.1993 (Annexure A-6) is quashed and set aside. The Secretary of the respondent-Board is directed to decide the representation of the petitioner afresh within a period of eight weeks from today by passing a speaking order. With these directions, the petition is disposed of. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. May 21, 2009. (rkv)
