K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN & T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JJ. --------------------------------- O.P.No.14136 OF 1999 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 1st day of December, 2007 JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan, J. Heard counsel for the parties. Ext.P11 is a notice issued by the third respondent as early as in the year 1999. Due to lapse of time we find it unnecessary to examine the legality of that notice. Notice also cannot be given effect to at this distance of time. If the third respondent proposes to issue any fresh notice, petitioners, if so advised can challenge the same. Original Petition is disposed of as above. K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN JUDGE T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE sv.
