The petitioners have filed Ext.P8 objections to the same inter alia taking the contention that the Registrar has no jurisdiction to initiate such proceedings. 2. I am of opinion that in so far as Ext.P8, in both the writ petitions, are only a show cause notices, it is open to the petitioners, to raise all their contentions in reply to the show cause notices and the 4th respondent is bound to consider the objections of the petitioner and pass speaking orders on the same. In the above circumstances, these writ petitions are disposed of with following directions. 3. The 4th respondent shall pass final orders pursuant to Ext.P7, in both writ petitions, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners and after considering all their contentions, including the question of jurisdiction, expeditiously. If the orders to be passed by the 4th respondent pursuant to Ext.P7 are adverse to the petitioners, the same shall not be implemented for a period of two weeks to enable the petitioners to take further steps against those orders.
