The case of the appellant is that the appellant is in possession of land belonging to respondent No.6 Trust and that it was sought to be evicted from the premises in question without following due process and without issuing any notice of granting to the petitioner an opportunity of being heard.

Learned counsel for the respondents do not deny the fact that no notice was served on the appellant by the concerned.

Since the issue falls in a very narrow compass, we dispose of this petition with liberty to the respondents to serve upon the appellant an appropriate notice within two weeks from today, which shall be responded to within three weeks thereafter. An appropriate decision be taken by the respondents based upon the response so filed. An opportunity of personal hearing be also granted to the appellant. The judgment and order impugned shall stand modified to that extent.

The writ appeal is, accordingly, disposed of. No costs.

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed.
