To call for the records leading to Ext.P3 and quash the same by issuing a writ of certiorari 2. To declare that the issuance of Ext.P3 Stop Memo by the first respondent is illegal as he is not an authorized officer under Sections 12 of the Act 28 of 2008 3. To direct the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. The learned counsel for petitioner submits that the 1st respondent / Village Officer is absolutely having no power, jurisdiction or competence to have issued Ext.P3 Stop Memo. The position in this regard has been made clear by the petitioner by filing Ext.P4, despite which, the threat continues, thus driving the petitioner to this Court for appropriate reliefs.
