Prima facie, we are of the view that the petition is premature, as the petitioner has approached this Court instead of giving reply to the show-cause notice. In the course of hearing of the petition, the learned advocate for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner would give reply to the show-cause notice dated 2-2-2009 within ten days from today. The learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondent has submitted that the respondent-authority shall pass order only after considering the reply which the petitioner might file in pursuance of the show-cause notice dated 2-2-2009, within ten days from today. In view of the above development in the matter, the petition stands disposed of with no order as to costs. __________________________ ANIL R.
