Several contentions have been raised in the writ petition. One of them is that the petitioner was not heard before Ext.P7 order was passed. I do not propose to deal with the other contentions raised by the petitioner in circumstances where the petitioner was not heard before Ext.P7 order was passed. Accordingly, Ext.P7 is set aside and the 3rd respondent is directed to pass a fresh order within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing the petitioner. Other contentions of the petitioner are left open. Writ petition is disposed of as above. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
