After the notice was received by the writ petitioner, he submitted his reply dated 26.02.2018. It is evident from the records that the said reply was received by the Corporation on the very next day i.e., on 27.02.2018. But the impugned order reads that the writ petitioner did not offer any objection. Since the impugned order has been passed without consideration of the writ petitioner-s reply, the order impugned in the present Writ Petition has to be necessarily quashed. It is, accordingly, quashed. The Writ Petition is allowed. The matter is remitted to the file of the first respondent to pass orders afresh in accordance with law, after due consideration of the writ petitioner-s reply dated 26.02.2018. It is made clear that the writ petitioner shall also be given an opportunity of personal hearing. It is open to the writ petitioner to place additional materials for consideration of the first respondent during the course of personal hearing. No costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
