1 74.11-wp IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY. APPELLATE JURISDICTION. CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 74 OF 2011 Shri Sachin Rakesh Saduai. ... Petitioner. V/s. The Principal Secretary of Home Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai and another. ... Respondents. Rahul S. Kadam for the petitioner. A.S.Shitole, APP for the State. CORAM: B.R.GAVAI, J. DATED : 4th August 2011. P.C. : Rule. Rule is made returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of parties. 2. By way of present petition, the petitioner challenges the order dated 10th September 2010 vide which petitioner was externed by respondent No.1 from the area of Pune Police Commissionerate so also police rural area for a period of two weeks and the order passed by the appellate authority dated 31st December 2010 thereby dismissing the appeal. 3. The perusal of the impugned order would reveal that the show cause notice has been served on the petitioner on 10th September 2010 and the impugned order externing the petitioner has also been been passed on the same day i.e. 10th September 2010. The principles of natural justice would require that some sufficient time should have been given to the 2 74.11-wp petitioner so that he can meet the allegations made in the show cause notice. Serving the show cause notice and passing the impugned order on the same day, in my considered view, would be in blatant breach of principles of natural justice. The petition deserves to be allowed on this short ground alone. Rule is, thus, made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a). 4. Copy of this order be forwarded to respondent No.2 with a hope that at least in future such orders would not be passed. (B.R.GAVAI, J.)
