Adverse entries were recorded in the annual confidential report of the petitioner for the period 1.4.1997 to 31.3.1998. He made representation against the same. It was rejected by the competent authority on 18.11.1998. Order dated 18.11.1998 is neither self-contained nor reasoned. It was necessary for the authority concerned to take into consideration the grounds mentioned in the representation. There is non- application of mind in order dated 18.11.1998. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed. Annexure A-20 dated 18.11.1998 is quashed and set aside. The authority shall now decide the representation afresh by a speaking order. The needful be done within a period of eight weeks from today. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. April 28, 2009. (cr)
