BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED: 29.06.2011 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE B.RAJENDRAN Writ Petition (MD)No.6872 of 2011 Selvaraj ... Petitioner Vs. 1.The Commissioner, Ramanathapuram Municipality, Ramanathapuram. 2.M.Sridharan ... Respondents Prayer: Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for the issuance of a Writ of Certiorari, calling for the records of the first respondent proceedings Na.Ka.No.2865/11/A1, dated 13.06.2011 and quash the same as illegal. For Petitioner : Mr.S.Muthukrishnan For Respondent : Mr.B.Pugalendhi,Special Government Pleader. O R D E R The petitioner has filed this writ petition to quash the impugned order dated 13.06.2011 passed by the first respondent. He would only contend that in the above order, they referred to earlier notice, dated 31.03.2011 and according to him, such a notice was never issued and not received by him. Therefore, the contention that inspite of 60 days, no reply was given is wrong. Subsequently, he would only contend that there is already a civil suit is pending and de horse the civil suit, they have issued the notice. 2.It is very clearly stated in the impugned order that as there was no reply for the earlier show cause notice, they have issued fresh show cause notice calling upon him to give his explanation in regard to the ownership of the property. Therefore, this is purely a show cause notice alone. Further, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submits that on receipt of this notice, they have already given a lawyer notice giving detailed explanation in regard to the right over the property. Inasmuch as this is only a show cause notice and the petitioner has also given a reply, the authority will duly consider the reply given by the petitioner by affording an opportunity to the petitioner and pass orders on merits and in accordance with law. Therefore, the writ petition is premature at this stage. 3.The writ petition is dismissed accordingly. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
