1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR WRIT PETITION No. 1334/2007 (Amrut Sevabhavi Sanstha, Parbhani Vs. State of Mah. & ors.) Appeal District : Application No. of 200 Writ petition Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's orders. CORAM :D.D. SINHA & SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, JJ. DATED : FEBRUARY 29, 2008. Heard Mr. Sundaram for the petitioner, Mrs. Dangre, learned Addl. G.P. for respondent nos. 1 to 3, and Mr. Patil for the respondent no.4. Present writ petition is directed against the impugned order dated 29th January,2007, passed by the State Government whereby the permission granted to Kailashpati Ku. Durga K. Banmeru Vigyan Mahavidyalaya to run XI standard came to be cancelled. The counsel for the petitioner states that apart from the other grounds raised in the petition, the petitioner is challenging the impugned communication mainly 2 on the ground that the same is violative of principles of natural justice since the petitioner- Management was not given a reasonable opportunity of being heard before passing the impugned order. It is, therefore, contended that the order is violative of principles of natural justice and cannot be sustained in law. Mrs. Dangre, the Additional Government Pleader, does not specifically dispute this aspect of the matter, however, contended that the impugned order came to be passed in view of the pursis filed in Writ Petition No. 5006/2004 as well as the order dated 30/11/2006 whereby the said writ petition was permitted to be withdrawn. In the circumstances, in view of the above referred undisputed facts, it is apparent that the impugned order passed by the State, was without giving reasonable opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and, therefore, in our view, cannot be sustained in law. 3 For the reasons stated herein above, the order dated 29th January, 2007 which is impugned in the present writ petition, is quashed and set aside. Matter is remanded back to the State Government for consideration of the issue afresh and decide the same on its own merits according to law, within a period of six weeks from the date of communication of this order, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner as well as the persons who are interested and connected with the issue. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE RMP
