(Oral) Keeping in view the controversy involved and with the consent of the counsel, this petition is disposed of at motion stage. The petitioner has challenged the order dated 9.4.2009 (Annexure P- 6) whereby the first ACP benefit earlier granted to the petitioner vide order dated 21.9.2000 w.e.f. 1.12.1999 has been withdrawn. The petitioner is presently serving as Draftsman. Apart from other grounds, the principal grievance of the petitioner is that this benefit has been withdrawn without affording any opportunity of being heard to him. CWP No.6733 of 2009 2 I have heard learned counsel for the parties. Neither from the reply nor from the impugned order, it appears that any opportunity of hearing was afforded to the petitioner before passing the impugned order. In view of the above circumstances and without going into other aspect of the matter, this petition is allowed. Impugned order dated 9.4.2009 (Annexure P-6) is hereby set aside. The respondents are granted liberty to pass a fresh order after affording sufficient opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, in accordance with law. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 16.9. 2010 MFK
