JUDGMENT 1. - Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner assailing the order dated 18/11/2002 by which the Cooperative Minister, office of respondent No.5 has allowed the revision petition filed by respondent No.1 - Hira Lal Luhar. 3. Shri S.S. Hasan, learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the aforesaid order was passed ex-parte without hearing petitioner and that in fact loan was taken by Hira Lal Luhar himself. Recovery was ordered under section 117 of the Rajasthan Cooperative Society Act, 1965. It is argued that the revision petition was originally filed before the Registrar Cooperative Societies, Jaipur but the Cooperative Minister withdrew the same and has himself decided the revision petition. In the revision petition without hearing petitioner, a finding has been given that the loan appears to have been taken by the petitioner himself and not by Hira Lal Luhar, which fact is substantially established by the fact of giving NOC to Hira Lal Luhar on 17/3/1994. When petitioner came to know this fact he withdrew the NOC and communicated the same to the said bank. Learned counsel in this connection invited the attention of the court towards the communication dated 18/3/1994 (Ann.8). It is therefore prayed that writ petition be allowed and the impugned-order be set-aside. 4. Shri P.S. Sharma and Shri Sunil Tyagi, learned counsel for the respondents have opposed the writ petition and have submitted that Hira Lal Luhar was merely a Class-IV employee and petitioner was Manager of the Bank and Hira Lal Luhar has denied that he ever deposited Rs. 10,000/- with the bank of the petitioner. If the petitioner has taken the deposit to be deposited by himself, the NOC issued by him to Hira Lal Luhar could not be ignored. 5. Having regard to the facts aforesaid and without going into the merits of the case that petitioner was not provided with opportunity of hearing while deciding the revision petition filed by respondent No.1 and the matter was decided on the basis of the arguments made by the Government Counsel alone, the writ petition deserves to be allowed and is hereby allowed. The order passed by the Cooperative Minister dated 18/11/2002 (Ann.10) is set-aside and the matter is remanded back for being decided afresh after hearing all the concerned parties.Petition Allowed. *******
