RAMACHANDRA MENON, J. ----------------------------------------------- WP(C) No. 5381 of 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated, this the 8th day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is before this Court apprehending the steps to reject the applications preferred by the petitioner vide Exts.P3 and P5 for amending the CST registration certificate. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that even though Exts.P4 and P6 have been styles as notices in this regard, it appears that the first respondent has already made up his mind to finalise the proceedings and that the petitioner is likely to be affected adversely, which hence is under challenge. 2. The learned Government Pleader submits that the idea and understanding of the petitioner as projected in the Writ Petition are quite wrong and misconceived. Exts.P4 and P6 notices have been issued providing an effective opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, also with liberty to file necessary objections, if any. It is also stated that the matter will be finalized only after considering the said objections and also after hearing the petitioner. 3. Taking note of the fact that the time stipulated for filing the objection is already over, it is made clear that the statement of WP(C) No.5381/2010 2 objections, if any filed within a further period of two weeks, the matter shall be finalized by the 1st respondent only after considering the said objections so to be filed by the petitioner and also after giving an opportunity of personal hearing, which shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. P. R. RAMACHANDRA MENON JUDGE dnc
