SIRI JAGAN, J. -------------------------------- W.P.(C)NO.18135 OF 2007 ------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 13th DAY OF JUNE, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner approaches this Court apprehending eviction from his properties without notice. The learned standing counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent submits that a notice has already been issued. That being so, I cannot assume that the respondents would take further action without hearing the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction that the petitioner shall be evicted only after affording the petitioner an opportunity to file objections, hearing him which shall include an opportunity to adduce evidence and passing a speaking order. Till order is communicated to the petitioner, no further proceedings shall be taken. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
