IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CWP No.15314 of 2007 Date of Decision: 29.4.2009 Ram Kumar ...Petitioner V E R S U S State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI Present: Mr. Y. P. Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG, Haryana. AJAY TEWARI J. (ORAL) The petitioner has challenged the order dated 4.9.2007 whereby the order of his confirmation as Assistant Office Kanungo was cancelled. Both, the learned counsel for the petitioner and Senior Deputy Advocate General have argued on the propriety, legality and correctness of the order. However, the salient factor which has emerged is that the order was passed without giving any opportunity to the petitioner to be heard. It cannot be doubted that the order of deconfirmation is an order affecting civil rights and thus cannot be passed without issuing notice to the concerned employee. Consequently, order (Annexure P-14) is set aside. However, liberty is granted to the respondents to pass a fresh order after giving notice to the petitioner and after giving an opportunity of hearing. No other point have been argued. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) April 29, 2009 JUDGE ashish
