According   to   them,   they   in   view   of   dearth   of<\/p>\n<p>space   they   had   submitted   Ext.   P1   application   for   allotment   of<\/p>\n<p>additional 4 acres of industrial land.   However, only 50 cents were<\/p>\n<p>allotted to them by Ext. P2 order which on actual measurement was<\/p>\n<p>found to be only 30 cents.\n<\/p>\n<p>       2.     It   is   submitted   by   the   petitioner   that   while   so,   they<\/p>\n<p>received   Ext.   P4,   an   order   issued   by   the   3rd  respondent   cancelling<\/p>\n<p>the   allotment   of   additional   land   on   the   allegation   that   when   an<\/p>\n<p>inspection was conducted it was seen that the industrial unit already<\/p>\n<p>set up by the petitioner was seen closed.  Petitioner submits that the<\/p>\n<p>industrial unit has not been closed and that it is still functioning.\n<\/p>\n<p>       3.     Irrespective   of   the   factual   controversies   involved   in   the<\/p>\n<p>writ petition, I feel, the matter requires re-examination.   This is for<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C) No.1642 OF 2008<\/p>\n<p>                                              &#8211; 2 &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>the   reason   that   when   the   allotment   of   the   land   that   is   already<\/p>\n<p>allotted to the petitioner is sought to be cancelled, the petitioner is<\/p>\n<p>entitled to be put on notice and should be given an opportunity to<\/p>\n<p>explain its case.  A reading of Ext. P4 and the averments in this writ<\/p>\n<p>petition,  shows   that   such   an   opportunity  was   not   extended   to  the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner.     If   that   be   so,   Ext.   P4   is   to   be   held   as   one   vitiated   for<\/p>\n<p>violation   of   principles   of   natural   justice.     Accordingly,   Ext.   P4<\/p>\n<p>deserves to be quashed and I do so.  The 3rd respondent is directed<\/p>\n<p>to issue notice, hear the petitioner and then pass orders afresh.\n<\/p>\n<p>         Writ petition is disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                         ANTONY DOMINIC<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                         JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>jan\/-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Mulavarickal Group vs State Of Kerala on 24 January, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C) No. 1642 of 2008(U) 1.
