Judgment SURINDER SARUP, J. 1. This application is directed against the orders dated 20-5-1992, 20-6-1992 and 29-6-1992 passed in C.R. No. 112/92 by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hazaribagh. By the said orders the petitioner- Bank ha6 been directed to release an amount of Rs. 33,256, 10 paise, which is lying in deposit with the Bank, in favour of opposite party No. 2. 2. The learned counsel for the parties have been heard. 3. The only submission raised on behalf of the petitioner is that the impugned orders have been passed without giving an opportunity to it of being heard. 4. A number of arguments have been raised on behalf of the opposite party No. 2 by his learned counsel, but it is not necessary to go into them at this stage. Suffice it to say that in compliance with the rules of natural justice, the orders should have been passed by the learned Court below after giving an opportunity to the petitioner to be heard in the matter. Therefore, I am of the considered view that the matter should go back to the learned Court below for a fresh decision after affording an opportunity to the petitioner to be heard in the matter. 5. Consequently, this application is allowed, the impugned orders are set aside. The Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hazaribagh, is directed to hear the matter afresh after affording an opportunity to both the parties of being heard and then to re-decide the matter afresh. The petitioner and opposite party No. 2 are directed to appear before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hazari bagh, on 29-1-1996. The petitioner is further directed to make an application on 29-1-1996 before the said Court for being heard in the matter, and the Court should dispose it of within a month, thereafter.
