body2014
Judgment M. Jaichandren, J. 1. Heard the learned counsels appearing for the parties concerned. 2. At this stage of the hearing of the writ petition, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents had submitted that the impugned order of the first respondent, dated 13.3.2014, may be set aside and the matter may be directed to be placed before the second respondent, for passing appropriate orders. 3. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsels appearing for the parties concerned, we are of the considered view that, in the given facts and circumstances, it would be appropriate to set aside the impugned order of the first respondent, dated 13.3.2014, rejecting the claims made by the petitioner. Hence, the impugned order passed by the first respondent, dated 13.3.2014, is set aside. Further, we direct the first respondent to place the records relating to the impugned order, dated 13.3.2014, before the State Level Scrutiny Committee, which has been impleaded as the second respondent in the present writ petition, by an order passed by this Court, on 11.11.2014, in W.P.No.18222 of 2014, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, for considering the claims made by the petitioner, afresh, by causing an enquiry. On receipt of the records, the second respondent is directed to consider the claim of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon, without being influenced by the observations made by the first respondent, in her impugned order, dated 13.3.2014, by following the procedures established by law, and by giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of twelve weeks thereafter. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs.
