Apart from various other grounds one of the ground has been taken in the writ petition is that impugned order is based on non application of mind and is in teeth of Full Bench judgement of this Hon'ble Court in the case of Vivekanand Yadav Vs. State of U.P. and another reported in 2011 (29) LCD 221 in which Full Bench of this Court held that the explanation and point of view or the version to the charges by the Pradhan should be obtained and considered before seizing administrative and financial power of Village-Pradhan. 5. While going through the order impugned, the Court is more than satisfied that the reply of the show cause notice submitted by the petitioner was not at all taken into consideration and in one word namely " पधधन दधरध ददयध गयध सपषषकरण ससततषजनक नहह हह।" reply was rejected. 6. In this view of the matter, the Court is of the opinion that the order impugned has been passed in complete violation of principles of natural justice. 7.
