The writ petition involves issue in respect of allotment of fair price shop in village Nabhawala, Gram Panchayat Ramyawala, Tehsil Jamwaramgarh, District Jaipur and recommendations for allotment made in favour of petitioner have been withdrawn by the respondent through the impugned notices dated 16.11.2017 & 17.11.2017 (Ann.4). The case of petitioner is that the impugned notices dated 16.11.2017 & 17.11.2017 have been passed without [2025:RJ-JP:6452] (2 of 2) [CW-4325/2020] according opportunity of hearing and without adhering to the principles of natural justice. 4. It has been pointed out by learned counsel for the petitioner that the issue is squarely covered by the order dated 21.11.2024 passed by the Coordinate Bench of this Court in SBCWP No.5383/2019 titled Devnarayan Gurjar Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors., and may be decided in same terms, for which counsel for respondents has no objection. 5. The relevant portion of the order 21.11.2024 reads as under:- "6. It is settled proposition of law that whenever any adverse order is passed against a person, the authority concerned is expected to afford him an opportunity of hearing after issuing notice to him, but in the instant case, the order impugned has been passed in utter violation of the principles of natural justice. 7. In view of the above, the impugned orders dated 16.11.2017 and 17.11.2017 stand quashed and set aside on this count alone. The matter is remitted back to the District Supply Officer to re-consider the matter and decide it afresh after affording due opportunity of hearing to the petitioner as well as to all the respective parties, strictly in accordance with law. 8. It goes without saying that the order passed by this Court would be complied by the respondents within a period of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order." 6. In view of above, the instant writ petition is hereby decided and disposed of in terms of the order dated 21.11.2024 passed in SBCWP No.5383/2019. 7. Stay application and any other pending application, if any, stand disposed of. (SUDESH BANSAL),J TN/62
