HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No: 17033 of 1999 Dated 3-6-2010 Between: J.Kishan Rao. Petitioner. And: Singareni Collieries Co. Ltd., represented by its General Manager, Rg.II Area, Godavarikhani, Karimnagar District and others. .....Respondents HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No : 17033 of 1999 ORDER: The petitioner herein is working as Shot-firer, Gr. ‘C’ in Singareni Collieries Company Limited. This Writ Petition is filed aggrieved by the proceedings of the 3rd respondent dated 2-2-1999 under which a sum of Rs.17,744-32ps was sought to be recovered from the petitioner alleging that the said amount was paid in excess due to an error in fixation of his basic pay on promotion to Shot Firer Grade ‘D’. This Court by order dated 12-8-1999 in W.P.M.P.No.21163 of 1999 granted interim stay of recovery of amount pursuant to the impugned proceedings dated 2.2.1999. Heard learned counsel for both parties and perused the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents. It is apparent from the material available on record that the impugned proceedings were issued without giving an opportunity to the petitioner to make his representation against the recovery sought to be made. Hence, it is not necessary for this Court to express any opinion at this stage as to the legality of the impugned action and the interest of justice would be met if the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to submit his explanation treating the impugned proceedings dated 2-2-1999 as show-cause notice. Thereafter, the respondents shall pass a fresh order with regard to the recovery if any from the petitioner. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to submit his explanation treating the impugned proceedings dated 2-2-1999 as a show-cause notice within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Thereafter, the respondents shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. No costs. ___________________ G.ROHINI,J Dated: 3-6-2010. Note: Issue C.C. in one week.
