SHAH, C.J. & S.J. KATHAWALLA, J. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2010. PC : The challenge in this petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India is the show cause notice dated 9th September, 2010 annexed at Exh.D to the petition. The learned counsel for the petitioner sought to raise various contentions before this court. Since what is challenged is a show cause notice, we do not propose to entertain the petition. However, interests of justice will be served if we direct that the petitioner will file reply (supplementary) to the show cause notice dated 9th September, 2010 within three weeks from today and within four weeks thereafter the respondent- Tahsildar will give the petitioner an opportunity of being heard and thereafter, pass an order in accordance with law. It goes without saying that before passing any final order, the respondents will not take any coercive action against the petitioner on the basis of the impugned order dated 9th September, 2010. ASN 2 WP-8857.sxw Petition is accordingly disposed of in terms of the above directions. CHIEF JUSTICE S.J. KATHAWALLA, J.
