CWP (T) No.12145 of 2008 7.9.2010 Present: Mr. Ashwani Kumar Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Vikas Rathore, Dy. Advocate General, for the respondents. There is no dispute that before passing impugned orders dated 15.7.2005 (Annexure P-6) and 7.7.2005 (Annexure P-7) , no opportunity of hearing was ever afforded to the petitioner. There has been downward re-fixation of scales payable to the petitioner. Recovery is also sought to be effected from him. Now this entails civil consequences. Principles of natural justice stand violated. On this sole ground alone, Annexure P-7 is quashed. The respondents are directed to afford an opportunity of hearing/representation to the petitioner before taking final decision with respect to his entitlement and recovery of amount, if any, required to be effected from him. Necessary consequential action be positively taken within a period of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. With the above observations, the petition is disposed of. 7th September, 2010 (Sanjay Karol) (C) Judge.
