Subsequently, making reference to the complaints received, notice of cancellation was issued by Ext.P3. To the said notice, petitioner submitted Ext.P5 reply, Thereafter by Ext.P6 proceedings of the 1st respondent, Ext.P1 building permit was cancelled and that is sought to be challenged in this writ petition 2. Though several contentions have been raised, it is the admitted case that before Ext.P6 cancellation proceedings was issued, petitioner was not heard in the matter. In view of this, Ext.P6 has to be held as one violating the principles of natural justice and calls for interference. 3. Accordingly Ext.P6 will stand cancelled and the 1st respondent will issue notice to the petitioner and other affected parties, hear them and thereafter pass a speaking order in the matter. Needless to say that while orders are passed, due attention WP(C) 11562/08 2 should be given to all the contentions urged by the petitioner and the documents relied on by the parties. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
