Recording the said statement, the writ petition is disposed of, keeping it open for the petitioners to submit an explanation to the impugned notice, dated 07.09.2017, by treating the same as show cause notice, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. If any such explanation is submitted within the time stipulated above, the same be considered and appropriate final orders be passed strictly in accordance with law, after giving notice to all the stakeholders. Till then, no coercive action pursuant to the impugned notice shall be taken. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall also stand disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
