                                                  08.05.2008

                                                  ORDER

1. In our view, the impugned judgment of the Division Bench of the High Court which was
passed under Section 4 of the Karnataka High Court Act, was not passed by a speaking and
reasoned order. In fact, the only order which was passed is as follows:- "We have heard
learned counsel for the appellant.

2. We have also gone through the impugned order passed by the learned Single Judge. We
entirely agree with the view taken by the learned Single Judge.

3. Accordingly, the writ appeal is dismissed."

        "In this view of the matter, the impugned judgment is set aside and the matter is
        remitted back to the High Court for passing a speaking and reasoned order in
        accordance with law. The appeal is allowed to the extent indicated above.

        The High Court is requested to decide the appeal in accordance with law preferably
        within a period of three months from the date of communication of this order."

4. There shall be no order as to costs.
