JUDGMENT Manish Pitale, J. - By this Writ Petition, the Petitioners have challenged communication dated 10.08.2021 issued by the Under Secretary (Revenue-I) of the Respondent-State i.e. the Respondent no.3 herein, whereby the President and Attorney of the Managing Committee of Communidade of Fraternal de Aldona were dismissed under Article 74 of the Code of Communidades and the Administrator of the Code of Communidades of North Zone was directed to look after the administration. By the said communication, it was also informed that the elected Managing Committee stood dissolved. 2. As a consequence of the said communication, by order dated 17.08.2021, the Respondent no.4-Administrator of Communidades stated that the President and Attorney as also the Managing Committee of the said Communidade, stood dissolved. 3. The short ground raised in the present Writ Petition to challenge the impugned communication and the consequential order is that before issuing such communication and order, the Petitioners were not given hearing. In fact, no notice was issued to the Petitioners and that, therefore, this was in flagrant violation of the principles of natural justice. 4. This Court issued notice in the present Writ Petition for final disposal and directed the parties to maintain status quo as on 06.09.2021. 5. The Respondents entered appearance through Counsel. There can be no doubt about the position of law that, if an order adverse to the interest of a party is to be issued, the affected party has to be issued a notice and granted proper hearing before any such order is passed. It is pointed out on behalf of the Petitioners that apart from the adverse effect of them being removed from the Managing Committee of the said Communidade, under clause (3) of Article 70 of the Code of Communidades, there is a serious civil consequence that would visit them in the form of a bar to re-election before completing nine years from such dissolution. 6. This Court is of the opinion that considering the serious consequences that are faced by the Petitioners, the impugned communication and order cannot be sustained only on the ground of violation of principles of natural justice. 7. Mr. Salkar, the learned Government Advocate appearing for the Respondent nos. 1 to 4, makes a statement, on instructions, that hearing would be granted to the Petitioners before any precipitate action is taken. 8. In view of the above, the Writ Petition is allowed. 7.
