IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR.

NAIR RESPONDENT(S): -------------------- THE THIRUVALI GRAMA PANCHAYATH, REPRESENTED BY ITS SECRETARY, THIRUVALI, MALAPPURAM DISTRICT. ADV. SRI.T.KRISHNAN UNNI, SENIOR ADVOCATE SRI.SAJU.S.A THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 31195 OF 2009 (T) ===================== Dated this the 15th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing for the respondent. 2. The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P10 cancelling the licence issued to the petitioner for running a poultry farm. Although several contentions are raised impugning the validity of Ext.P10, in my view, Ext.P10 deserves interference on the short ground that no reason whatsoever for cancellation of the licence is stated in the order. That apart, such an order has been passed without notice to the petitioner also. Therefore, quashing Ext.P10, this writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the respondents to initiate fresh action, if they deem it appropriate to do so. However, it is made clear that any such action shall only be with notice to the petitioner, after disclosing the materials that are sought to be relied on against him and after giving an opportunity of hearing. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
