1 Lrs IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION No.7377 OF 2008 Chaitanya Kamgar Sahakar Sanstha, District Pune ..Petitioner. Vs. State of Maharashtra and others. ..Respondents. Mr Amol Gatane i/b Sugandh B. Deshmukh, Advocate for the Petitioner. Ms M. A. Thakur, A.G.P., for Respondent Nos.1 to 3. CORAM: D.K. DESHMUKH AND K.K.TATED,JJ DATED: 2nd DECEMBER,2009 P.C.:- Rule, returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of parties. The grievance of the petitioner in this petition is against the order dated 6th August, 2008 2 by which permission granted for erection of saw mill by an order dated 7th May, 2008 has been cancelled or withdrawn. The grievance of the petitioner is that by a reasoned order dated 7th May,2008 licence of the petitioner to run the saw mill was renewed for the period from 1.1.2008 to 31.1.2008. By the order dated 6th August,2008, however, that licence has been cancelled without giving any reason, why it has been cancelled and without granting the petitioner an opportunity of being heard, before it was cancelled. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is not presently running the saw mill and that the petitioner will also not run the saw mill unless the authority makes a fresh order pursuant to this order. In view of this statement made and obvious infirmity in the impugned order, in our opinion, the following order would meet the ends of justice. ORDER:- Order dated 6.8.2008 copy of which is annexed 3 at Exh.A is set aside. The Conservator of Forests, Pune who has passed order dated 6.8.2008 shall issue a show cause notice to the petitioner within a period of four weeks asking the petitioner to show cause as to why his licence should not be cancelled and giving reason for the proposed action and thereafter after granting the petitioner and opportunity of being heard shall make a fresh order. The Authority shall make fresh order, as expeditiously as possible, in any case within a period of 8 weeks from the date on which show cause notice is issued. Till the authority makes a fresh order as per the statement made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner shall not run the saw mill and thereafter shall abide by the order that may be passed by the Conservator of Forests. Rule made absolute accordingly. No order as to costs. (D.K. DESHMUKH,J) (K.K.TATED,J)
