Case: JOHRA AND ORS Vs. STATE OF HARYANA AND ORS

3. Few facts need mention infrafor the disposal of these. At the outset, it may be mentioned that it was not in dispute that the High Court while disposing of the writ petition filed by respondent No.8 herein againstthe appellants and State issued certain mandatory directions to the State Authorities in respect of the subject matter of the writ petition for their compliance.It is also not in dispute that the appellants were arrayed in the said writ petition (No.9512 of 2016) as respondent Nos. 8 to. Indeed, we also find that the High Court also observed (see page 2 of the impugned order) that they do not deem it necessary to issue any notice to any of the private respondents except to the State and its Authorities considering the nature of the order they intend to pass for the disposal of the writ petition.Against this order, the private respondent Nos. 8 to 80 of the writ petition have felt aggrieved and filed these appeals by way of special leave in this

Reasoning:
7. Though learned counsel for the parties made lengthy submissions on merits of the case in support of their respective stands but keeping in view the admitted fact emerging from the record of theproceedings that the impugned order was passed without hearing the present appellants despite they being party respondents in the writ petition,we are of the considered view that the impugned order is not legally. We may reiterate the basic fundamental principle of law that no order can be passed by any Court in any judicial proceedings against any party tosuch proceedings without hearing and giving such party an opportunity of.

The Court is duty bound to hear all such person(s) by giving them an opportunity to place their. In this case, we find thatthe High Court issued some mandatory directions to the State in relation to theof the proceedings but itwas done without hearing the appellants(respondents in the writ petition before the High Court). It is for this reason, we are unable to uphold the impugned. We have not set out the entire factual dispute which led to filing of the writ petition, nor set out the stand taken by the parties against each other before the High Court and nor dealt with any factual issuesarising in the case though argued vehemently by both the learned counsel against each. In our view, it is for the parties to raise all their pleas before the High Court to enable it to decide in accordance with law. We, therefore, express no opinion on any of the
