State of Rajasthan & Ors., decided on 12.05.2014 with the following directions:--

(2.) The petitioner filed his representation on 14.5.2014, copy whereof is placed on record as Annex.20 and as directed by this Court, the representation was disposed of within a period of one week from the date of filing of the same vide the impugned order dated 19.05.2014 (Annex.22), which is assailed in the present writ petition.

(3.) Mr. A.K. Rajvanshy, learned counsel for the petitioner urged that not only the petitioner was not heard in the matter by the Principal Secretary but the issues raised in the representation have not been dealt-with by the Principal Secretary and a non-speaking order has been passed by him rejecting the representation made by the petitioner. The petitioner was also directed to appear before the said authority on 15.05.2014 whereas the said officer was not even attending the office on 15.05.2014 and, therefore, the order is in fact an ex parte order. Learned counsel for the petitioner also submitted that the respondent No. 3, Arun Kumar Gupta, who was subordinate to him and, therefore, having been given charge of the Director, (Training) now in the Directorate of Technical Education, he will be now the Head of the Department, to whom the petitioner will have to report and consequently the impugned orders dated 03.03.2014 and 04.03.2014 and the order passed by the Principal Secretary now on 19.05.2014, deserve to be quashed and set aside.
