On instructions, learned Government Pleader for Commercial Taxes submits that the notice had been given on an address earlier furnished by the petitioner and no notice was given to him on his changed address, which had been notified to the Department and in a way it is conceded that the order impugned has been passed without notice. Learned counsel for the parties agree that the writ petition be disposed of at this stage. Learned Government Pleader for Commercial Taxes submits that the impugned order be treated as a notice and the petitioner be directed to file reply within a reasonable time. In this view of the matter, we allow the writ petition, quash the order dated 30-03-2007 and direct that the order dated 30-03-2007 be treated now as a show cause notice and the petitioner may file his reply to the competent authority within a period of fifteen (15) days from today, who may dispose of the matter according to law thereafter. No order as to costs. _____________________ Bilal Nazki, J Dated 8th October, 2007 ___________________ D.Appa Rao, J vrn
