The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is ready and willing to prosecute the matter before the first respondent by submitting proper explanation and no adverse orders shall be passed by the first respondent, unless the objection submitted by the petitioner in this regard is considered. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to submit his explanation in response to Ext.P2 before the first respondent within a period of two weeks from today, and on such event, the same shall be considered W.P.(C) No.12934/2009 2 and appropriate orders will be passed by the first respondent, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, before proceeding with further steps, if any.
