Inter- alia, the petitioner contends that Ext.P3 has been issued without affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. 2. The learned Government Pleader submits that the 2nd respondent is prepared to pass fresh orders, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions: Ext.P3 would be treated as a show cause notice. 2nd respondent shall afford an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, which shall include an opportunity to adduce evidence also and pass fresh orders in accordance with law. Till orders are so passed, the petitioner shall maintain status quo in respect of the properties mentioned in Ext.P3. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE bkn/-
