have been impugned by the petitioners. The learned counsel for  the petitioners submits that in all the writ petitions, a common  question of law is involved. The main challenge of the petitioners  is   to   the   decision   taken   by   the   State   Government   which   was  communicated   to   the   Managing   Director,   Jharkhand   State  Housing   Board   vide   letter   dated   21.03.2015.     The   learned  counsel appearing for the parties agreed that W.P.(C) No. 1346 of  2015 may be taken up as the lead case.

2.    Heard the learned counsel for the parties.

3.   Mr.   Anil   Kumar   Sinha,   the   learned   Senior   counsel  appearing for the petitioners in W.P.(C) No. 1346 of 2015 leading  the argument submits that the impugned order dated 21.03.2015  suffers from serious infirmity in law besides, it discloses serious  errors   of   record.     It   is   submitted   that   the   lottery   conducted  pursuant   to   advertisement   published   on   29.06.2011   was  captured in the video and, the Housing Board has asserted that  the   procedure   as   laid   down   under   the   Regulations   were   duly  followed.   On complaints received by the Government, a 4­Man  Enquiry   Committee   was   constituted   which   submitted   reports  holding that no irregularity was found in the allotments.   It is  further submitted that the Managing Director, Jharkhand State  Housing Board also sent reports confirming that the allotments  were made strictly in terms of the Housing Board Act, Rules and  Regulations   framed   thereunder.   The   learned   Senior   counsel  alleging   malafide   on   the   part   of   the   private   respondents  17 challenges the Government decision dated 21.03.2015, actuated  with malice in law.  It is contended that the right of the allottees  which has concretised in law, has been taken away by the State  Government on a spacious plea that serious irregularities have  been found in a subsequent enquiry.   4.    Per­contra,   Mr.   Ajit   Kumar,   the   learned   Additional  Advocate   General   controverts   the   allegations   of   malafide   and  submits that the decision dated 21.03.2015 has been taken by  the State Government to instill confidence of the general public  in   the   rule   of   law.     Justifying   the   impugned   order   dated  21.03.2015,   the   learned   Additional   Advocate   General   submits  that the present writ petitions involve serious disputed questions  of fact and on that ground alone, the writ petitions  are liable to  be dismissed.

5.        The learned counsel for the respondent­Housing Board  submits   that   in   view   of   Section   23   r/w   Section   109   of   the  Jharkhand State Housing Board Act, 2000, the Housing Board is  bound   to   implement   the   directions   issued   by   the   State  Government.   The   Board's   decision   dated   07.04.2015   is   only   a  reiteration of the Government's decision dated 21.03.2015. It is  submitted that the petitioners have no vested legal right to claim  allotment of house/flat/plot.

6.      I   have   carefully   considered   the   submissions   of   the  learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents on  record. 18 7.      From the materials produced in the present proceeding  it   is   apparent   that   the   impugned   order   dated   21.03.2015   has  been passed without issuing notice to the petitioners.  The order  contained   in   the   impugned   letter   dated   21.03.2015   mentions  certain discrepancies conducted in the process undertaken by the  Housing Board and the allotment of house/flat/plot. It is not in  dispute   that   previously   also   a   4­Man   Enquiry   Committee   was  constituted   which   enquired   into   the   matter   and   previous  Managing Director of the Housing Board has written letters to  the   State   Government.     The   findings   recorded   in   the   enquiry  allegedly conducted subsequently, have not been made known to  the petitioners.   It is also a matter of record that a copy of the  said   enquiry   report   has   not   been   served   upon   the   petitioners.  The petitioners claim to have obtained copies of file notings and  the   enquiry   report   of   the   4­Man   Committee.     On   the   basis   of  these   documents   it   has   been   contended   on   behalf   of   the  petitioners   that   no   irregularity   was   found   in   the   conduct   of  lottery and allotment of house/flats/plots.  The order contained  in   the   impugned   letter   dated   21.03.2015   has   visited   the  petitioners   with   serious   civil   consequences.   Many   of   the  petitioners have pleaded that they obtained loan from the Bank  for repaying  installments to the Housing Board.  In many cases  Hire­Purchase agreements have been executed and possession of  the house/flats/plots have been delivered to the petitioners.  In  “State   of   Orissa   vs.   (Miss)   Binapani   Dei   (AIR   1967   SC   1269)”  19 expanding the scope of the rules of natural justice, the Hon'ble  Supreme   Court   held   that   even   an   administrative   order   which  involves civil consequences must be made consistently with the  rules   of   natural   justice.   The   expression   “civil   consequences”  covers   infraction   of   property   and   personal   rights   besides,  material deprivations and non­pecuniary damages. The principles  of natural justice are thus, rules which have been read by the  courts   as   being   the   minimum   protection   of   the   rights   of   the  individual against arbitrary procedure that may be adopted by a  judicial, non­judicial and administrative authority while making  an order affecting those rights.  In the celebrated case of “Cooper   vs.   Wandsworth   Board   of   Works   [(1863)   143   ER   414]  the  principle   was   thus   stated   :   “Even   God   himself   did   not   pass  sentence   upon   Adam   before   he   was   called   upon   to   make   his  defence”.  Since then the principles of natural justice have been  chiselled, honed and refined, enriching its content.  The Hon'ble  Supreme   Court   has   observed   that   the   judicial   treatment   has  added   light   and   luminosity   to  the  concept,  like  polishing   of  a  diamond.   In “Canara Bank vs. Debasis Das (2003) 4 SCC 557”,   the   Hon'ble   Supreme   Court   has   observed;   “the   adherence   to  principles of natural justice as recognised by all civilized States is  of supreme importance when a quasi­judicial body embarks on  determining disputes between the parties, or any administrative  action involving civil consequences is in issue.”   The petitioners  have brought abundance of materials on record to challenge the  20 decision of the Government, on merits. It has been contended on  behalf of the petitioners that had an opportunity been given to  them,   they  could  have  demonstrated before  the  authority  that  even   if   some   minor   infraction   of   rules/regulations   have   been  detected,   that   would   not   affect   the   legality   of   the   allotments  made in their favour.   8.      In the W.P.(C) No. 1346 of 2015, the petitioners have  specifically   asserted   in   paragraph   nos.   41   and   59   that   the  impugned order dated 21.03.2015 has been issued in violation of  rules of natural justice and the assertion by the petitioners has  not   been   denied   by   the   respondent­State   of   Jharkhand   in   its  counter­affidavit.   No   material   has   been   brought   on   record   to  indicate that a notice was issued to the petitioners and copy of  the enquiry report was supplied to them, before the impugned  decision was taken by the Government to cancel the allotments  rather, it is an admitted position that no notice was issued to the  petitioners or any of the writ petitioners.     In   “D. K. Yadav vs.   J.M.A. Industries Ltd. (1993) 3 SCC 259”, the Hon'ble Supreme  Court has held thus ;  “8.   The cardinal point that has to be borne in   mind,   in   every   case,   is   whether   the   person   concerned should have a reasonable opportunity   of   presenting his case and the authority  should   act fairly, justly, reasonably and impartially. It is   not so much to act judicially but is to act fairly,   namely, the procedure adopted must be just, fair   and reasonable in the particular circumstances of   the   case.   In   other   words   application   of   the   21 principles of natural justice that no man should   be   condemned   unheard   intends   to   prevent   the   authority   from   acting   arbitrarily   affecting   the   rights of the concerned person.”  9.    Considering the aforesaid facts, without going into the  merits   of   the   rival   contentions,   I   am   of   the   opinion   that   the  impugned  order   contained  in  letter  dated  21.03.2015  requires  interference on the ground of breach of the principles of natural  justice and accordingly, it is quashed.  The original record of the  40th Meeting of the Housing Board held on 07.04.2015 has been  produced and I have perused the same. I find that the agenda in  respect   to   the   cancellation   of   allotments   made   pursuant   to  advertisement dated 29.06.2011 merely reproduces the contents  of   letter   dated   21.03.2015.   Consequently,   the   decision   of   the  respondent­Housing   Board   in   its   40th   Meeting   held   on  07.04.2015 cancelling the allotments in favour of the petitioners  and others, is also quashed.   10.    All   the   writ   petitions   stand   allowed,   in   the   aforesaid  terms.

11.    I.A. No. 6729 of 2015 [in W.P.(C) No. 1346 of 2015], I.A.  No.   3775   of   2015,   I.A.   No.   6782   of   2015   [both   in   W.P.(C)  No.   2478   of   2015]   and   I.A.   No.   4410   of   2015   [in   W.P.(C)  No. 2448 of 2015] stand disposed of.
