SHRI.A.J.VARGHESE, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------- W.P.(C) No.34738 OF 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of November 2008 J U D G M E N T Heard both sides. 2. Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P6, by which temporary recognition granted to the petitioners as per Exts.P2, P3, P4 & P5 has been cancelled. Although, several contentions have been raised by both sides on the validity of Ext.P6, in view of the admitted position that Ext.P6 has been issued without notice to the petitioners or hearing them, I do not think it necessary to examine the contentions raised on the merits, at least at this stage. 3. Having regard to the fact that Ext.P6 has been issued without notice to the petitioners, Ext.P6 to the extent it concerns cancellation of Exts.P2, P3, P4 & P5 orders of temporary recognition will stand quashed. However, I clarify that I have not pronounced anything on the merits of W.P.(C) No. 34738/2008 -2- the contentions raised by either of the parties, and it will be open to the respondents to proceed afresh in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
