Firstly, there are no particulars of the so-called violations alleged EO have been committed by the petitioner. Secondly, the opportunity given to the petitioner to show cause, is not at all reasonable as only three days time was given to him. I, therefore quash the impugned notice dated 3-7-1936.

( 2 ) THE Writ Petition is accordingly ordered. No costs. Advocate s fee Rs. 150/ -.
