IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL W.P. No. 1577 (M/S) of 2010 M/s Priya Lall Colour Lab Pvt. Ltd. …. Petitioner. Vs. Secretary, Nainital Lake Region Special Area Development Authority Tallital Nainital and others … Respondents. Mr. Rahul Consul, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. N.P. Sah, learned Standing Counsel for respondent/State. Mr. U.K. Uniyal, Senior Advocate, assisted by Mr. Sandeep Kothari, Advocate for respondents 1 and 4. (Hon’ble B.S. Verma, J.) Heard Mr. Rahul Consul, learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. N.P. Sah, learned Standing Counsel for the State/respondent No.2 and Mr. U.K. Uniyal, learned Senior Advocate, assisted by Mr. Sandeep Kothari, Advocate for respondents 1 and 4. By means of this petition, the petitioner has sought the following reliefs- (a) To issue a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the impugned sealing order dated 28-7-2010, passed by respondent No.1, annexure No.11 to the writ petition, and the consequential sealing memo dated 16.8.2010, Annexure No.12. (b) To issue a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondent No.1 to pass appropriate orders on the application of the petitioner for grant of sanction for carrying out repairs/renovation of the building to ensure proper drainage of rain water, Annexure No.3 to the petition. 2 The main grievance of the petitioner is that no opportunity of hearing was given to the petitioner by the respondent No.1, before passing the impugned order of sealing the premises. During the course of argument learned counsel for the petitioner has also alleged that although show notice was issued to the petitioner but without hearing the petitioner the impugned order has been passed by the respondent No.1, therefore, the petitioner be given opportunity of hearing. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case as well as in the interest of justice, I feel that the petitioner ought to have been given opportunity of hearing before passing the impugned order. The petitioner shall file objection against the show cause notice dated 14.7.2010 before the respondent No.1, within a period of ten days from today. In case such an objections are filed within ten days, the respondent No.1 shall pass speaking and reasoned order afresh after hearing the petitioner, in two weeks from the date or receipt of objection. With these directions the petition is disposed of finally. Dated: 8-9-2010 (B.S.Verma, J.) ISB
