It is stated that coming to know of this, the petitioner had made Exhibit P6 before the 5th respondent requesting that an opportunity shall be given to him before a final decision has been taken.

The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 5th respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE scm
