TO JUDGE tss KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 2820 of 2006 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 29th August, 2008. J U D G M E N T The challenge is on Ext.P4 order passed by the District Collector. It is seen that the order is passed on the only reason of non-appearance of the petitioner. The petitioner has a case of no means. That aspect is not seen considered in Ext.P4. I quash Ext.P4 with a direction to the first respondent to consider the matter afresh and pass appropriate orders, after affording an opportunity for hearing to the petitioner within four months from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
