Trivedi Amthalal Laljibhai vs Collector Banaskantha & on 2 August, 2016
By way of this petition, the petitioner has challenged the
impugned order dated 6.6.2001 whereby the respondent
No.1 has cancelled the resolution No. 6/11 dated
19.8.2000 passed by the respondent No.2 has been
favour of the petitioner. Learned advocate Mr. Rana
appearing for the petitioner has submitted that the said
resolution dated 19.8.2000 passed by the respondent
No.2 in favour of the petitioner has been cancelled by the
respondent No.1 without affording any opportunity of
hearing whatsoever and, therefore, same is contrary to
the principles of natural justice and is liable to be
quashed and set aside on that ground alone. He has
placed reliance on the decision of this court in case of
Vasantilal Ramanlal Kansara versus Viramgam
Municipality and others reported in 1995 (2) GLH 436 and
has submitted that in the said decision also, beneficiary
of the resolution passed by the Municipality concerned
was not heard by the Collector before cancelling the
resolution passed by the Municipality and, therefore,
following the ratio of the decision in case of H.H. Parmar
v. COllector, Rajkot and Another reported in 20(2) GLR,
97, the order passed by the Collector was set aside on
that ground alone. According to him, in this case also, the
beneficiary of the resolution passed by the Respondent
No.2 has not been heard by the Collector before
cancelling the resolution dated 19th August, 2000
whereby the beneficiary namely petitioner herein was
promoted to the post of Overseer. He has submitted that
as a result of the order dated 6th June, 2001 passed by
the Collector, the petitioner has been reverted to the
post of Technical Assistant and, therefore, the petitioner
ought to have been heard by the respondent Collector
before passing the order dated 6th June, 2001 and,
therefore, this petition is required to be allowed by
quashing and setting the said order dated 6th June, 2001
