The present writ petition is filed challenging the impugned order dated 12.01.2026 whereby, the petitioner’s representation against the shifting of TASMAC Shop No.4035 from the petitioner’s premises on the limited ground that the same has been passed without putting the petitioner on notice despite the fact that this Court on an earlier round of litigation in W.P.No.48029/2025 dated 09.12.2025, has specifically directed the second respondent to pass orders on the representation of the petitioner after affording the petitioner an opportunity of personal hearing. However, the impugned order proceeds to state

¶30

that the petitioner had been heard on 21.05.2025 that is much prior to the date of

¶31

the above direction and thus no further hearing needs to be afforded.

¶32

This impugned order is passed clearly contrary to the directions of this Court dated 09.12.2025. On this being pointed out, the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for Respondents 1 and 2 would submit that they would pass orders afresh after affording reasonable opportunity to the petitioner and any other interested party of being heard and pass orders afresh within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

¶33

No costs. Connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
