Neither the Government Pleader nor the counsel for the 5th respondent could satisfy me that before passing Ext.P5 order, the petitioner has been afforded an opportunity of being heard. Accordingly, Ext.P5 is quashed without prejudice to the parties' right to approach the Government again in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
