Sri Satyanarayana, the learned Counsel representing the petitioner had taken this Court through the contents of the impugned notice and would contend that reasonable opportunity had not been given. 4. On the contrary, Smt.Jhansi, the learned standing Counsel would submit that without submitting any explanation, the petitioner had approached this Court after sufficient lapse of time and hence no interference is warranted at this stage. 5. This is not inclined to express any opinion relating to the factual controversies which had been raised in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition. However, in the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petitioner is given liberty to submit his explanation to the respondent Corporation within a period of two weeks from today and the respondent Corporation to consider the same in accordance with law and make appropriate orders in relation thereto and till then to maintain status quo. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ Justice P.S.Narayana 29th September, 2006 Note: Order copy by wire at party’s costs (B/o.SMR)
