IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 480 OF 2008 SMT. LEPOLDINHA SILVEIRA ... Petitioner Versus GOA COSTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY THROUGH MEMBER SECRETARY ... Respondent Mr. V. A. Lawande, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S. S. Kantak, Advocate General with Ms. Rakhi Chodankar, Addl. Govt. Advocate for the respondent. Coram:- S.C. DHARMADHIKARI & R.C. CHAVAN, JJ. Date:- 7th August, 2008 P.C. 1. The grievance of the petitioner is that when the order was passed by the Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA)she has not been heard. The name of the petitioner appears as an occupier at serial No.(h) in paragraph 3 of the impugned Order. 2. The matter was placed before us and we had protected the petitioner, so also granted adjournment to enable the respondent to take instructions. 3. Today when the matter was placed before us, the learned Advocate General in all fairness does not dispute that the petitioner has not been heard before the order impugned in this petition has been passed. 4. Further, the learned Advocate General makes a statement that the respondent will hear the petitoner and thereafter pass a reasoned order. 5. In the light of this statement of the learned Advocate General, it is clear that the order, in so far as the petitioner is concerned, will have to be quashed and set aside. It is, accordingly, quashed and set aside, with liberty to the respondent to hear the petitioner and pass a reasoned order afresh. Needless to state that we have not expressed any opinion on the merits and pleas of both the parties are kept open. Further needless to clarify that the order impugned stands quashed and set aside only qua the petitioner and the respondent is free to take action against the other occupiers. S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. R.C. CHAVAN, J. ssm.
