                                     C.A.No.2000 of 2011

                        (Dalveer Bhandari and Deepak Verma JJ.)

                                           22.02.2011

                                             ORDER

Leave granted.

We have heard the learned counsel for the parties. This order will dispose of both
these appeals. These appeals emanate from the judgments and orders dated 27th
August, 2008 passed by the Division Bench of the High Court of Judicature at
Rajasthan at Jodhpur in Civil Writ Petition Nos.1326/2008 and 7919/2007 by
which the writ petitions have been dismissed summarily without giving any
reasons therefor.

Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and after perusing the records, we
are of the considered view that the High Court ought to have given reasons for
deciding the matters. We are, therefore, constrained to set aside the impugned
judgments and orders dated 27th August, 2008 passed by the Division Bench of the
High Court of Judicature at Rajasthan at Jodhpur in Civil Writ Petition
Nos.1326/2008 and 7919/2007, and remit these matters to the High Court for
deciding them afresh in accordance with law by passing a reasoned order. Since
the matters have been pending for quite some time, We request the High Court to
dispose of both the writ petitions as expeditiously as possible, in any event, within
a period of one year from the date of communication of this order. These appeals
are disposed of with the aforementioned observations.
