COMMON ORDER

These writ petitions have been filed for the following reliefs:

“To issue a writ of Certiorarified Mandamus, to call for the records relating to the impugned orders in Revision Petition No.2/2025 dated 20.11.2025 and Revision Petition No.1/2025 dated 20.11.2025 passed by the 3^rd respondent, quash the same, and consequently direct the respondents 1 to 7 to restore the petitioner to the post of Assistant Manager in view of the orders dated 14.03.2024 and

21.11.2024 passed by the 5^th respondent.”

2. Heard the learned counsel appearing on either side and perused the materials available on record. The learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents 1 to 4 fairly submitted that the petitioner was not afforded an opportunity to put forth his case.

3. Considering the fact that the impugned orders have been passed without affording an opportunity to the petitioner and without providing him with all the relevant documents, this Court is not inclined to go into the merits of the case. Accordingly, the impugned orders are set aside and the matter is remitted back to the 3^rd respondent. The 3^rd respondent is directed to issue a fresh notice to the petitioner, enclosing all documents referred to in the show cause notice, receive his explanation, provide an opportunity of personal hearing, and thereafter pass a speaking order on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
