THE HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE SUJOY PAUL
AND
THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE RENUKA YARA
WRIT APPEAL No.458 of 2025
JUDGMENT (Per the Hon'ble the Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul):
Sri T. Srikanth Reddy, learned counsel for the appellant;
Sri R. Gopi Mohan, learned counsel for respondent No.1 and
Sri Mahesh Raje, learned Government Pleader for Home
Department, for respondent Nos.2 to 4.
2. With the consent, finally heard.
3. During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the
parties fairly submitted that the present appellant/respondent
No.4 before the writ Court was although impleaded by treating
him to be a necessary party, the learned Single Judge, without
hearing him, passed the impugned order dated 19.03.2025.
4. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that
paragraph No.6 of the impugned order shows that the
consequence flowing from the direction of learned Single Judge
may fall on the present appellant. In the fitness of things, the
appellant should have been put to notice and only after hearing
him, order could have been passed.
5. Learned counsel for respondent No.1/writ petitioner did
not dispute that the impugned order has been passed without
putting the appellant to notice.
6. We find substance in the grievance of the present
appellant that he was impleaded as a party to the writ petition
but without putting him to notice, the impugned order has been
passed which may have adverse consequences against him. In
this backdrop and in order to ensure that justice is not only to
be done but it also appears to be done, we deem it proper to set
aside the impugned order.
7. Accordingly, the impugned order dated 19.03.2025 is set
aside. W.P.No.8005 of 2025 is restored to its original number.
Registry shall list the matter before the learned Single judge on
10.06.2025. The appellant may appear on the said date before
the learned Single Judge and defend himself for which, no
separate notice will be required to be issued as this order itself
shall be treated to be a notice. On such appearance, the learned
Single Judge is requested to hear all the parties and decide the
writ petition afresh in accordance with law.
8. With aforesaid and without expressing any view on
merits of the case, this Writ Appeal is disposed of. No costs.
Interlocutory applications, if any pending, shall also
stand closed.
