HONOURABLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.14871 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the order dated 02/06/2010 passed by the first respondent cancelling the registration granted to the petitioner under Pre-conception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994, without giving an opportunity to the petitioner to make his representation against the allegations, as arbitrary, illegal and in violation of principles of natural justice. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Medical and Health appearing for the first respondent. It is apparent from the impugned order dated 02/06/2010 that on a complaint received from the second respondent, the registration of the petitioner was straightaway cancelled, without giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. Such an order being in violation of the principles of natural justice is liable to be set aside on that ground. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of making it clear that the impugned order of cancellation shall be treated as a show cause notice and permitting the petitioner to submit his explanation within a period of two weeks from today. On receipt of such explanation, the first respondent shall pass appropriate orders afresh, in accordance with law, after due notice to the petitioner as well as to the second respondent. No costs. ______________ JUSTICE G.ROHINI 28th June, 2010 Note: Furnish C.C. by two days. B/o. SKM
