The petitioners restrict their challenge to the letter dated 31st January, 2008, whereby the respondent No.2 has withdrawn no objection certificate issued in favour of the petitioners for establishing a flour mill. Admitted position is that no objection certificate has been withdrawn without giving opportunity of being heard to the petitioners and without issuing a show cause notice. In our opinion, therefore, the communication -: 2 :- dated 31st January, 2008 is liable to be set aside because it has been issued in violation to the principles of natural justice. In our opinion, therefore, following order would meet ends of justice. 3. The communication dated 31st January, 2008 is set aside. The respondent No.2, however, shall be at liberty to make same order after complying with the requirement of natural justice. 4. Sofar as the grievance of the petitioners against the respondent No.3 is concerned, no order is being made in this petition but the petitioners are at liberty to approach the respondent No.3 for of their grievance. 5.
