the order of Respondent No.2 has been challenged before the Revisional Authority, namely, the Minister of State Excise and who has already heard the revision, and he is only required to pass an order, we would request the Hon’ble Minister of State Excise to pass the order in the Revision Application filed by the Petitioner as expeditiously as possible and in any event on or before 7th November, 2024. While passing the aforesaid order, it is needless to clarify that the Minister shall also take into consideration the report of the Collector of Pune dated 7th July, 2024 (Exhibit ‘H’ to this Petition). In order to ensure that principles of natural justice are not violated, before the Hon’ble Minister takes into consideration the report dated 7th July, 2024, Respondent No.4 and/or the Petitioner can put in writing their objections/say on the said report on or before 25th October, 2024. While considering the report, the Hon’ble Minister shall also take into consideration the respective objections/say of Respondent No.4 and/or the Petitioner while deciding the Revision Application. In our opinion, this would adequately take care of the principles of natural justice.
