JUDGMENT
Koshy, J.
Revision petition filed by the first respondent/petitioner was allowed as per
Ext.P2 order by the Director of Public Instructions. Later it was suo motu revised
by the Government as per Ext.P6 order. Contention of the appellant/fourth
respondent is that neither the appellant (the affected party) nor the manager
(petitioner) was heard while reversing the statutory revisional order passed by
the revisional authority. We are of the opinion that substantial civil rights of the
parties are affected. In the above circumstances, the affected parties should be
heard before reversing a statutory revisional order. Hence we set aside Ext.P6
order and direct the Government to pass fresh orders after hearing the petitioner
(first respondent herein) as well as the affected teacher (appellant herein),
untrammelled by any of the observations made by the learned Single Judge. We
are not expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter. In view of the
WA No.2158/2008
2
circumstances, we direct that the matter should be heard and fresh orders
should be communicated to the parties within a period of three weeks from the
date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
Writ Appeal is disposed of as above.
J.B.KOSHY,
JUDGE.
