CWP No.2281 of 2007. 4.6.2008. Present: Mr. I.D.Bali, Sr. Advocate, with Mr. B.S.Ranjan, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K.Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. J.K.Verma, Dy. Advocate General, for the respondents No. 1 to 3. Mr. A.K.Vashist, Advocate, for respondent No.4. Prima-facie, the order dated 5th November, 2007 reflects that there is a violation of the principle of audi-alteram- partem. The petitioner was a necessary party to be heard before the impugned order dated 5th November, 2007 has been passed entailing the civil consequences qua the petitioner. However, the respondents have taken a very fair stand that the petitioner ought to have been heard by the Deputy Commissioner, before passing the order dated 5th November, 2007. Consequently, the order dated 5th November, 2007 is quashed and set aside with the consent of the parties. The matter is remanded to the Deputy Commissioner to decide it afresh after hearing all the parties including the petitioner. The Deputy Commissioner is directed to issue a specific notice to the petitioner calling upon and supplying her with a copy of the complaint furnished by Smt. Pinki Devi to her. The Deputy Commissioner will decide the case within a period of two months. In view of the observations made above, the Writ Petition is disposed of, so also the pending application(s).
