Court No. - 21
Case :- SPECIAL APPEAL No. - 665 of 2018 Appellant :- Sanjay Kumar Singh Respondent :- Joint Director Of Education(Madhyamik) And 3 Ors Counsel for Appellant :- Vikash Chandra Tiwari Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.
Hon'ble Govind Mathur,J. Hon'ble Chandra Dhari Singh,J.
This appeal is preferred to question correctness of the order dated 13th July, 2018 passed by learned Single Bench in Writ A- No. 18799 of 2002.
Under the order aforesaid, learned Single Bench dismissed the petition for writ by arriving at the conclusion that "petitioner is not able to make out a case so as to justify interference of this Court by granting reliefs, as prayed for".
Learned Single Bench dismissed the petition for writ in absence of counsel for the appellant-petitioner as he failed to appear before the Court though the matter was called in second round.
In appeal, the submission of learned counsel for the appellant- petitioner is that learned Single Bench could have dismissed the petition for writ in default or for want of prosecution but if any merits were examined, then it was necessary to give reasons for not accepting the contentions raised on behalf of the appellant- petitioner in petition for writ.
Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents.
From perusal of the order impugned, it is apparent that learned Single Bench arrived at the conclusion that no case is made out for interference without assigning any reasons. It is well settled that while disposing of a petition for writ after its adjudication on merits, the writ Court is required to give reasons in support of its findings. No such reasons in the instant matter are given. The order impugned, as such, is apparently bad.
Accordingly, the appeal is allowed. The order dated 13th July, 2018 is set aside. The petition for writ is remanded to the learned Single Bench for its adjudication afresh.
