Narendra Nath Tiwari, J. - (1.) IN this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 7.9.2011 passed by the Executive Engineer, Road Construction Department, Ranchi Division, Ranchi, whereby the petitioner's work contract has been cancelled making several allegations against it. The grievance of the petitioner is that no notice or opportunity of representation/hearing was given to the petitioner before sudden cancellation of petitioner's work contract.
(2.) IT has been submitted that the respondents have also gone to the extent of mentioning in the impugned order that they have considered the petitioner's reply but it was not found satisfactory. The petitioner emphatically denied to have filed any such reply. When this writ petition was heard on 4.5.2012, the same point was argued by the petitioner. However, the respondents had taken specific ground that the petitioner had given reply and the same was considered and that the respondents shall bring on record the reply filed by the petitioner. Time, as prayed for, was granted to the respondents for that purpose.
(3.) TODAY , the respondents changed their version and submitted that no such reply was filed by the petitioner and the order was passed on the basis of some previous replies available on record.;
