The petitioner by means of the present writ petition has assailed the order dated 23.07.2025 passed by the respondent no.2 whereby he has rejected the claim of the petitioner. 3. Challenging the aforesaid order, learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that impugned order has been passed without giving any notice and opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, which is in violation of principles of natural justice. It is submitted that the impugned order is non- speaking. 4. Per contra, learned Standing Counsel submits that elaborate reasons have been given by the respondent no.2 while passing the impugned order. Accordingly, he submits that no interference is required with the impugned order. 5. Be that as it may, from the perusal of impugned order, it is evident that no notice or opportunity of hearing was afforded to the petitioner by the respondent no.2 before passing the impugned order. Further, learned counsel for the respondents also could not demonstrate from the impugned order that any opportunity of hearing was afforded to the petitioner before passing the impugned order. It further emanates from the impugned order that the impugned order is non-speaking. Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Kashif Zaidi Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C.
