THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P.NOS.17509, 10569, 9248, 10822 AND 10566 OF 2010 COMMON ORDER The petitioners in all these writ petitioners were working as conductors and drivers respectively and on completion of five years of services, their services were regularized. Owing the complaints from the persons, who are alleged to be seniors to the petitioners and whose services were not regulars, the impugned proceedings were issued canceling their regularization. 2. It is admitted fact that before issuing the impugned orders canceling the orders of regularization, no notice was issued to the petitioners and this amounts to violation of the principles of natural justice. In similar facts and circumstances, a learned single Judge of this court in W.P.No.26671 of 2010 dated 27.10.2010, held as under: “A perusal of the impugned order discloses that the first respondent himself directed regularization of services of quite large number of Drivers on contractual basis. By undertaking some discussion and referring to certain facts, he directed cancellation of orders of regularization. The fact, however, remains that the petitioners were not put on notice. On account of their regularization, the petitioners derived valuable rights. Before they are taken away, the first respondent was under obligation to give them an opportunity of being heard. The impugned order is in utter violation of principles of natural justice. The writ petition is accordingly allowed and the impugned order insofar as it relations to the petitioners, is set aside, however, by leaving it open to the first respondent to pass orders afresh, after issuing notice to the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs.” 3. In view of the facts and circumstances as the impugned proceedings canceling the regularization of the services of the petitioners were issued without any notice, they are set aside and however, it is open for the respondents to pass orders afresh after issued notices to the petitioners. 4. The writ petitions are accordingly allowed. No costs. -------------------------------- - AVS 18—03—2011
