The writ petition has been filed seeking direction to the respondent not to proceed with the enquiry pursuant to the notice dated 12-02-2004. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner– appellant is that the respondent has already made up his mind by proceedings dated 18-10-2004, therefore it is mere formality of asking the petitioner to produce evidence. Learned standing counsel for the respondent, however, submits that those are prima facie findings and the whole case will have to be considered in the light of material placed before the respondent and also by the writ petitioner before the authority including the evidence, if any. We do not feel that because of the proceedings of 18-10-2004, the respondent has disqualified himself from hearing the matter. Had he concluded the matter, he would not have asked the petitioner to produce his evidence. However, to safeguard the interest of the petitioner, we hold that the respondent while disposing of the matter finally after evidence of the petitioner is taken, he shall not be influenced by the proceedings dated 18-10-2004, he shall hear the parties and pass appropriate orders after giving reasons. The writ appeal is disposed of accordingly. ________________ BILAL NAZKI, ACJ. ___________________ Dr. G.YETHIRAJULU, J 11-04-2005 bsc To 1.
