CWP(T) No.2372 of 2008 15.05.2009 Present: Ms. Sunita Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Umesh Kanwar, Advocate vice Mr. Virender Verma, Advocate for the respondent. The petitioner has made a representation against the office Order No.51/93, dated 13.5.1993 and previous number 116/87, dated 24.7.1987. The representation made by the petitioner was rejected by the competent authority on 8.9.1993 without a speaking order. He approached the Himachal Pradesh Administrative Tribunal by way of O.A. No.200 of 1994. The learned Tribunal was pleased to direct to treat the Original Application as representation to the Board of Directors of the respondent-corporation. The petitioner was conveyed the decision of the Board of Directors vide office Order No.224, dated 26.10.1994. A bare perusal of order dated 26.10.1994 reveals that the same is neither self-contained, nor speaking. It is settled law by now that the order which has civil or evil consequences must be speaking, self-contained and reasoned. Once the learned Tribunal had directed the Board of Directors of the respondent- corporation to consider the case of the petitioner on merits in accordance with law, the matter ought to have been decided by the Board of Directors after due application of mind. Accordingly, the Office Order No.224, dated 26.10.1994 is quashed and set aside. The Board of Directors of the respondent-corporation are 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 15, 2009. (rkv)
