BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER, SRI.A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ======================= W.P.(C) No. 5460 of 2008 (Y) ======================= Dated this the 15th day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner challenges Ext.P6 order of the 2nd respondent, in respect of the challenge against his staff fixation order passed by the 3rd respondent in petitioner's school for the year 2007-2008. From Ext.P6, I find no reason whatsoever for passing that order when the matter is specifically raised grounds in Ext.P5 stating as to why the staff fixation order is corrected. In such matters the 2nd respondent has a duty to pass an order giving the reasons as to for the Deputy Director is rejecting the contentions of the manager of the school. That has not been done. From Ext.P6, evidently the same is accordingly a one line order for any reasons whatsoever. Therefore, I am satisfied that Ext.P6 is violative of the principles of natural justice. Accordingly, Ext.P6 is quashed and the 2nd respondent is directed to pass fresh orders after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. In such, the 2nd respondent shall give specific reasons made for each and every contentions of W.P.(C) No. 5460/2008/Y -2- the petitioner. Orders in this regard shall be passed within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE jp
