MS.NANDINI JOSHI, Advocate for Respondent No.3. -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : MR.JUSTICE M.C.PATEL Date of decision: 19/06/2000 ORAL JUDGEMENT Rule. Mr.A.D.Oza and Ms.Nandini Joshi waive service of rule on behalf of the respective respondents. The petitioner's contention is that he has not received the notice dated 24.02.2000 issued by the Board alleging that he had committed irregularity and that he was required to remain present for hearing on 16.05.2000. It appears that the practice is to send the notice to the student through the school. One Shri B.C.Yadav who is Principal of Raghunath Hindi Higher Secondary School respondent no.2, states that the notice was sent several times but no one was present at home. However, it is not necessary to go into the question whether the attempt was made to serve the notice to the petitioner or not. It appears that for whatever reason the petitioner did not receive the notice. The learned Counsel for Gujarat Seconary Education Board - respondent No.1, states that the Board will issue a fresh notice to the student within one week and thereafter attempt will be made to dispose of the whole matter within two weeks. The Board is therefore directed to issue a fresh notice to the petitioner within one week and thereafter dispose of the whole matter within two weeks after the receipt of the notice by the petitioner. Rule made absolute accordingly. No order as to cost. --- m.m.bhatt
