Although various contentions have been raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner, in my view, it is not necessary for this Court to enter into those controversies for the reason that Ext.P6 has been passed by the 2nd respondent without issuing notice of hearing to the petitioner. Therefore, Ext.P6 is violative of the principles of natural justice and is unsustainable for the that reason. 3. Hence without expressing anything on the merits of the case, I set aside Ext.P6. Second respondent shall issue notice to the parties concerned and pass fresh orders accordingly. Writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE ma /True copy/ P.A to Judge
