TO JUDGE ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =================== W.P.(C) NO. 27073 OF 2007 W =========================== Dated this the 4 th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T The prayer sought for in this writ petition was to consider and dispose of Ext.P1 application filed by the petitioner for revision of his timings. It is submitted by the petitioner that during the pendency of the writ petition, without affording an opportunity of hearing, immediately on receipt of notice from this court, respondent rejected Ext.P1 application and that too without even hearing the petitioner. Therefore, seeking to quash the said order marked as Ext.P2, this writ petition was amended by order in IA 379/2008 and appropriate pleading also have been incorporated. 2. A reading of Ext.P2 shows that the petitioner has not been heard in the matter. Therefore Ext.P2 deserves to be quashed and I do so. Now that Ext.P2 order has been quashed, I direct that the WPC 27073/08 :2 : respondent shall take up and consider Ext.P1 with notice to the petitioner and after affording th petitioner and others who are likely to be affected by order on Ext.P2, an opportunity of hearing. This shall be done by the respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
