ISHWAR LAL Vs. STATE OF RAJUSTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner has challenged in this petition his order of reversion dated 6. 12. 1985 (Annex. 9) passed by the District Education Officer, respondent no. 2 reverting him from the post of Lower Division Clerk (L. D. C.) to the post of Class IV. .

(2.) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner Mr. Saluja vehemently submitted that the impugned order of reversion passed by the District Education Officer is not a speaking order in as much as that the District Education officer has not at all dealt-with the reply of the petitioner and without giving any reasons for not accepting the case of the petitioner, he has reverted the petitioner from the post of L. D. C. to Class IV post. Thus, the impugned order is not only mechanical but laconical, and therefore, required to be quashed. There is a lot of substance in the submission made by the learned counsel. District Education Officer has not at all dealt-with the submissions made by the petitioner in his reply and therefore, the impugned order passed by him suffers with the vice of non-application of mind and therefore, required to be quashed on this ground alone.
