The court held that orders must be reconsidered upon providing an opportunity for hearing to the affected parties.

JUDGMENT

The above Writ Petition (C) is filed with the following prayers:

"(i). call for records leading to passing of Exhibits P7 and P9 orders from the 2nd respondent and quash Exhibits P7 and P9 orders, by issuing a Writ of Certiorari or any other appropriate Writ, Order or Direction.

(ii). Petitioner also prays that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to dispense with the English translation of the documents produced in the Vernacular Language.

And (iii). Issue such other reliefs as deem fit and proper by this Hon’ble Court in the facts and circumstances of the case "

[SIC]

2. The short point raised by the petitioner is that, Ext.P9 is an order passed without giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. When this writ petition came up for consideration before this Court on 11.02.2026, this Court directed the Standing Counsel to get instruction whether Ext.P9 is an order passed after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.

3. The learned Standing Counsel submitted that, Ext.P7 was issued after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. But, the Standing Counsel fairly submitted that, Ext.P9 is an order passed without giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.

4. If that is the case, without going through the merits of the case, there can be a direction to reconsider Ext.P9, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. To facilitate the authority concerned to pass fresh orders, Ext.P9 can be set aside.

Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:

i) Ext.P9 is set aside.

ii) The competent authority of respondents 1 to 3 will consider Ext.P8, and pass appropriate orders in it, after giving sufficient opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and the 4^th respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

iii) Till then, no coercive steps shall be taken based on Ext.P7.
