(Oral) It is not in dispute that neither any notice has been issued to the petitioner nor heard before issuance of Annexure R-1 dated 8th July, 2002. The petitioner has suffered civil and evil consequences since the recoveries are being effected from the petitioner without hearing. Consequently, the writ petition is allowed. Annexure R-1 dated 8th July, 2002 is quashed and set aside. In normal circumstances, the respondents ought to have been afforded an opportunity to proceed with the matter in accordance with law. Since, the petitioner has completed 60 years, the proceedings are closed. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma) Judge December 17, 2010.
