There is nothing in the impugned order of the Appellate Authority contained in letter no.879 dated 19.03.2009 that the petitioner was noticed or was heard before the impugned order was passed declaring his appointment as illegal. Learned counsel for the respondents has also not been able to controvert this fact. 2 In the circumstances, merely on the ground of violation of Principles of Natural Justice, the said order of the Appellate Authority is set aside and the matter is remitted back to the Appellate Authority to notice the parties concerned, hear them and pass appropriate orders afresh in accordance with law. The order must be passed within two months from the date of service of notice to the parties. From the order dated 25.07.2009 it appears that operation of the said order of the Appellate Authority was stayed by this Court. In the circumstances, till fresh orders are passed by the Appellate Authority, the said interim order of stay passed by this Court shall continue. This writ application is allowed to the extent as indicated above. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
