O R D E R
This writ petition is filed against the proceedings of the second respondent dated 14.02.2020, which is nothing but a notice, calling upon the petitioner to attend an enquiry on 25.02.2020, with regard to the legal heirship certificate already issued in favour of the petitioner.
has already participated in the enquiry conducted by the second respondent. Needless to say that it is for the second respondent to pass orders on merits and in accordance with law and therefore, the petitioner is not justified in approaching this Court and challenging the very notice of enquiry.
