Adv.Mr.P.K.Manoj Kumar, Standing Counsel takes notice on behalf of the respondents. 2. Under challenge in this Writ Petition is Ext.P3 order of demolition passed by the 2nd respondent. Obviously Ext.P3 is not preceded by any notice to the petitioner. I dispose of the Writ Petition directing the 1st respondent to construe Ext.P3 as a show-cause notice and permit the petitioner to file objections against Ext.P3 within seven days from today. If the petitioner filed objections within seven days from today, the 1st respondent, the Secretary of the Corporation will consider those objections, hear the petitioner as well as Smt.Bushrabeevi, the complainant and take a decision as to whether the petitioner's building should demolished or not. Once decision is taken, the same shall be communicated to the petitioner as well as Smt.Bushrabeevi. Till then, status quo as obtaining today will continue. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
