As per the reply to the writ petition, the notice for hearing was issued by post on 30.07.2018 to the petitioner to appear on 7.8.2018. 8. The petitioner in the memo of appeal filed before the Appellate Authority has specifically stated that no such notice for hearing was served upon him and a similar averment has been made in the memo of the writ petition also. The Appellate Authority while dismissing the appeal vide order dated 9.10.2018 did not at all consider the issue of principles of natural justice agitated by the petitioner/ appellant in the memo of appeal. It is a well settled law that no adverse order can be passed against a person without allowing him proper opportunity of hearing and defending his case. It was also obligatory on the part of the Appellate Authority to make specific observations in regard to the grounds agitated in the appeal but in the present case the Appellate Authority has failed to do so. The notice for hearing and appearance on 7.8.2018 is said to have been issued on 30.7.2018. As per the aforesaid notice, the period of seven days is a very short period for service of notice and also for a person to be available for hearing. The order of the District Transport Officer (Licence), Jagatpura, Jaipur, dated 20.08.2018 revoking the licence of the petitioner in the opinion of this Court is violative of the principles of natural justice and the order of the Appellate Authority is also not lawful as the Appellate Authority has not made any specific observation in regard to the grounds agitated by the appellant/petitioner in the memo of appeal. 9. In view of the above, the writ petition is allowed, the order dated 20.08.2018 issued by the District Transport Officer (Licence), Jagatpura, Jaipur, by which the driving licence of the petitioner has been revoked as also the order dated 9.10.2018 passed by the Appellate Authority are hereby quashed and set aside. The respondents authorities are directed to remove the remark of cancellation of licence from the licence of the petitioner and hand over the same to the petitioner within a period of 15 days from today. 10. In view of the order passed in the main petition, the stay application stands disposed of.
