Govind Enterprises v. State Of Haryana And Others

Learned counsel for the parties have been heard. A perusal of the impugned order dated 21.07.2025 reveals that the written response filed by the petitioner to the show-cause notice dated 27.12.2023, which preceded the impugned order, has not been considered. The detailed written grounds taken by the petitioner in its defence have been rejected by the author of the impugned order by simply stating that the petitioner's reply has not been found to be RAJ KUMAR 2026.05.12 16:59 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document/judgment

-2satisfactory. No further reasons are forthcoming from the impugned order.

In the light of the above, we find that the impugned penalty order dated 27.07.2025 has been passed without application of mind. It also violates the principles of natural justice and is therefore, set aside. However, liberty is granted to the State to pass a fresh order, in accordance with law.

The petition is allowed in the above terms.
