Representation

Opportunity to make representations would be effective only if it related to the decision to be made and if this was made clear to the affected parties.

Any person aggrieved of any departmental order could file a representation within 60 days form the order he was aggrieved of.

Mandate to file an application/representation would be frustrated if the Authority was merely to convey an order of dismissal without assigning any reasons

Person who approached a public functionary for redressal of his grievance would expect that he should be afforded an opportunity of hearing and thereupon order passed on his application/representation would be conveyed that too with reasons

No one should be made to gather information on which his application/representation had been decided

Purpose to furnish such information was to ascertain as to before whom employee had to assail the order

Department had neither given an opportunity of hearing to the employee nor had supplied reasons dismissing the application/representation

Right of fair trial had been violated in circumstances

Impugned order was not sustainable which was set aside

Representation filed by the employee was to be deemed to be pending before the Authority who, after affording an opportunity of hearing to him, and all other concerned parties should pass a speaking order in accordance with law

Constitutional petition was allowed in circumstances.
