CWP No. 15988 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 15988 of 2009 Date of Decision: 15.7.2010 Punjab State Electricity Board ........ Petitioner Versus Asha Rani and another ........ Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present: Mr. H.S. Grewal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. J.S. Jaidka, Advocate for respondent No.1. Mr. H.S. Brar, Additional Advocate General, Punjab. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) The petitioner- the Punjab State Electricity Board is aggrieved by the order dated 28.5.2009 (Annexure P-5), passed by the Appellate Authority, Ludhiana, whereby the final assessment order dated 05.12.2008, (Annexure P-2) demanding a sum of Rs.49,768/- from the first respondent, has been set aside. The Appellate Authority has observed that there is no material on record to show that the provisional assessment order was ever served upon respondent No.1. In view of the fact that the impugned order has been passed on the ground of non-compliance of principles of natural justice, I am not inclined to interfere with the same. Consequently, the present writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the Punjab State Electricity Board to serve the provisional assessment order upon respondent No.1, as per the prescribed procedure under the Rules and Regulations and on CWP No. 15988 of 2009 -2- receipt thereof, respondent No.1 shall submit her objections. The authority shall thereafter consider such objections and pass an appropriate order in accordance with law. Dasti. July 15, 2010 ( SURYA KANT ) rishu JUDGE
