IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3620 of 2010 1. SUMITRA DEVI W/O SRI RAMA SHANKAR MANJHI R/O VILL LAKARI DARGAH,P.S.BARHARIA,DISTT-SIWAN Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR null null 2. THE COMMISSIONER SARAN DIVISION ,CHAPRA 3. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE SIWAN 4. THE DISTRICT PROGRAMME OFFICER SIWAN 5. THE CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OFFICER BARHARA,DISTT-SIWAN ----------- 2. 16.9.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 6.4.2009/20.4.2009 cancelling her appointment on the post of Aganwari Sewika. Aggrieved by the order of termination dated 17.3.2008, the petitioner preferred appeal before the Commissioner which was remanded to the District Magistrate by order dated 14.6.2008. Counsel for the State prays for time to file counter affidavit. The appellate order dated 14.6.2008 at Page-5 notices that the petitioner was terminated ex parte in violation of the principles of natural justice. That the records of the authority ordering termination do not reflect proper appreciation of documents and materials placed before him. It was necessary that those documents and materials be properly considered and 2 then fresh orders be passed. Three directions have been issued of the manner in which the matter was to proceed after remand. This Court does not consider it necessary to adjourn the matter for a counter affidavit. An adjudicatory order necessarily carries quasi judicial capacity when it decides a lis on an issue which may adversely affect another, such an order is required to be considered, reasoned, displaying application of mind to enable the Superior Court or the authority to appreciate as to what was passing the mind of the authority when he passed an order of a particular nature. It also gives satisfaction to the litigant that his case was duly considered. The impugned order is cryptic and non- speaking. The impugned orders of termination are set aside. The matter is remanded to the District Magistrate to pass a fresh, reasoned and speaking order in terms of the three directions contained in the appellate order dated 14.6.2008, within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before him. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
