Although several contentions have been raised by the counsel for the petitioner, having regard to the contention that Ext.P5 was issued without issuing a notice to the petitioner, I do not think it necessary for entertaining this writ petition or consider the contentions on merits. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: 2. Ext.P5 will be treated as a notice and the petitioner will file his objections to Ext.P5 within ten days from today. On receipt of the objection, the first respondent will hear the petitioner and pass fresh orders in the matter, within four weeks from the date of receipt of the objection. It is clarified that this judgment will not enable the petitioner to continue quarrying. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks
