Such proceedings shall be taken only after issuing a notice to the petitioner affording him an opportunity of being heard which shall include an opportunity to adduce evidence and passing a speaking order. In view of the legal requirements of which the respondents must be aware of, I cannot entertain this writ petition at this juncture on the mere apprehension of the petitioner.
