CMPMO 191 of 2008. 1.9.2008 Present: Mr. Y.P.Sood, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Anshul Bansal, Addl. AG, for respondents 1 to 3. Heard. The grievance made by learned counsel for the petitioner is that the grounds of appeal filed before the Divisional Commissioner have not been considered by her. Learned counsel urges that the judgment has been passed with a terse one paragraph order which neither considers the grounds urged, nor gives any reason or rationale which is germane to the decision of the case. I have perused the grounds of appeal which have been placed on record of the case. The impugned order does not show that these grounds have been considered or they were abandoned. As a statutory authority, it was the duty of the Commissioner to have considered and decided on the legality of all the pleas raised. It was not merely sufficient to have stated that the points urged do not merit consideration. This petition is accepted. The matter is remanded to the Commissioner for decision afresh in accordance with law. A direction is issued that the Divisional Commissioner shall consider each and every ground urged by the petitioner herein. Needless to say, that the petition will be disposed of by a speaking and reasoned order. -2- It is further directed that till the disposal of the petition by the Divisional Commissioner, the petitioner shall not be ejected from the suit land. Parties to appear before the Divisional Commissioner on 24.10.2008. The petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. September 1, 2008 (PC). (Dev Darshan Sud), J.
