JAGDISH Vs. COLLECTOR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS writ petition was taken up today for final hearing with the. consent of the learned Counsel for the parties.

(2.) THE petitioner, in this case, has urged that the Collector, Sri Ganganagar has passed as order dated April 28, 1978 (Annexure 4) terminating the lease (Theka) of the petitioner for the year 1978 -79 without giving any mice to him and that the said order should be quashed by this Court as it was passed against the principles of natural justice.

(3.) HOWEVER , it was not contested before me that the order dated April 28, 1978 was passed by the C Elector, Sri Ganganagar without affording the petitioner an opportunity of hearing. At the time of hearing of the writ petition, learned Counsel appearing for respondent No. 2 admitted that the petitioner was not heard by the Collector while passing the impugned order dated April 28, 1978
