Ext.P3 proceedings was issued on an application made by the petitioner for revision of timings. The grievance is that before deciding on the application, the petitioner was not put on notice or heard. This order has been confirmed by Ext.P6. In view of the admitted position that the petitioner has not been heard before Ext.P3 has been issued, I quash Exts.P3 and P6 and the Writ Petition is therefore disposed of directing that the 3rd respondent shall reconsider Ext.P2 with notice to the petitioner. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, within eight weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ttb WPC No. 6246 OF 2008 2
