Bawankar .vs. State of Mah. and ors. ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders. and Registrar's orders ======================================= Mr. S.W. Sambre, Advocate for the Petitioner. .......... CORAM : K.J. ROHEE &, R.C. CHAVAN, JJ. DATED : APRIL 15, 2008 1. Heard counsel for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner has challenged the notice dated 7.4.2008 issued by the Chief Officer, Municipal Council, Kamthi - respondent no.4 calling upon him to submit his explanation about the construction over certain land which prima facie appears to be an encroachment. The petitioner is called upon to appear on 16.4.2008 at 12 in the noon before respondent no.4. The petitioner has challenged the said notice on the ground that he has legitimate apprehension that the Chief Officer may demolish the construction without giving proper opportunity to the petitioner to establish his case. In fact it is apparent that respondent no.4 has followed the 2 principle of natural justice by issuing show cause notice dated 7.4.2008. Thus, there appears no basis for the apprehension expressed by the petitioner. The petition is premature. The same is, therefore, dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE halwai
