1 wp-5252.10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 5252 OF 2010 H.T.L. Logistics India (Pvt.) Ltd. ... Petitioner. V/s. The Deputy Director, Bureau of Civil Aviation Security and others. ... Respondents. Santosh Maske with Atish Ray for the petitioner. Ashok R. Verma for respondent Nos.1, 2 and 4. Bhavik Manek i/b. Wadia Gandhy & Co. for respondent No.3. CORAM : V.C.DAGA AND R.G.KETKAR, JJ. DATED : 2nd February 2011. P.C. : Rule, returnable forthwith. Heard by consent of parties. 2. This petition, filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, is directed against the order dated 8th January, 2010 passed by the Deputy Director of Intelligence, Government of India, Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, New Delhi. The main contention sought to be canvassed is that the impugned order is passed in breach of 2 wp-5252.10 principles of natural justice since no opportunity of hearing was given to the petitioner. The learned counsel appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 2 could not show any compliance of the principles of natural justice. He, however, submits that the order dated 8th January, 2010 be treated as show­cause­notice with direction to the petitioner to reply the same within a period of four weeks from today. The request made is reasonable and acceptable to this Court. Needless to mention that in addition to this, if the respondent Nos.1 and 2 want to give additional show cause notice, it would be open for them to do so. In that event, it would be open for the petitioner to reply the additional show cause notice within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt thereof. After receipt of reply, the respondent No.2 shall be free to fix the date of hearing and thereafter can pass reasoned order following principles of natural justice. All rival contentions are kept open. 3. Petition is disposed of. Rule is made absolute in terms of this order with no order as to costs. (R.G.KETKAR, J.) (V.C.DAGA, J.)
