JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr. R.S. Gill, for the petitioner. Mr. O.P. Boob, Dy. Govt. Counsel. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused Annexure-P-7 dated 17.5.2007 by which the certificate issued in favour of the petitioner declaring him under the category of scheduled tribe on the basis of caste 'dhanka' has been set aside by Tehsildar Revenue, Sri Vijaynagar, District Sri Ganganagar. Upon perusal of order Annexure-P-7, it is revealed that the order impugned is totally non- speaking order and has been passed without following the principles of natural justice so also providing any opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. In this view of the matter, the order dated 17.5.2007 Annexure-P-7 is set aside and the 2 respondents are directed to first grant opportunity to the petitioner by way of issuing notice and after filing reply by the petitioner, his case may be decided afresh by the respondents. It is also made clear that the respondents are at liberty to make enquiry with regard to the caste of the petitioner, declaring him under the category of schedule tribe. With the aforesaid observation/direction, the writ petition is disposed of. (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS), J. arun
