HARGOBIND SINGH Vs. COMMISSIONER

JUDGEMENT

(1.) PRESENT revision petition has been filed against the order dated 28.3.2006 passed by the learned Commissioner, Faridkot Division, Faridkot dismissing the appeal filed by the petitioner being time barred.

(2.) READING of the order shows that no reason, whatsoever, has been given to form an opinion that there was no sufficient cause for condonation of delay. The order is absolutely non-speaking order. The petitioner had filed an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, wherein a plea was taken that the petitioner was minor and therefore, was not served in any proceedings and the present appeal was filed immediately on coming to know about the passing of the impugned order. It was also claimed that the appeal was within time from the date of knowledge. However, no reason, whatsoever, has been recorded by the learned Commissioner as to how the explanation given was not acceptable. The quasi-judicial authorities are bound to pass a speaking order meeting with the points raised by the parties. In view of this, the impugned order cannot be sustained.
