2013 (4) TMI 354 - MADRAS HIGH COURTCancellation of Registration - Procedure for registration U/s 39 - Held that:- The authority has not at all followed the procedure prescribed under Sub Sections 14 and 15 of Section 39 of the Act in giving an opportunity of hearing to the dealer before cancelling the certificate of registration. It is the cardinal principle that any authority, who is vested with quasi judicial function, should mandatorily comply with the procedure contemplated under the relevant Act and any violation against such procedure can be termed as violation of the principles of natural justice. The impugned order, being one passed in violation of the principles of natural justice, is unsustainable and is accordingly quashed - The matter is remanded back to the respondent with liberty to the respondent to proceed afresh by affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and then proceed further to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order - The writ petition stands allowed with the above directions - Connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
