Mr. Deborshi Dhar ...For the Petitioner Mr. Soumya Dasgupta Mr. Bijay Bikram Das ...For Respondent Nos. 1 to 3 This is an application under Article 226 of the akb Constitution of India wherein the writ petitioner is allegedly being harassed by the Siliguri Municipal Corporation with regard to notices being issued for unauthorized construction.

I have heard learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the parties and perused the materials placed on record. In my view this matter can be disposed with a direction upon the Commissioner, Siliguri Municipal Corporation, to grant an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and thereafter pass a reasoned order within a period of four weeks from date.

The reasoned order should be communicated to the petitioner within a week from the date of passing such reasoned order.

With the aforesaid observation the writ petition is disposed of.

Since, no affidavit-in-opposition has been called for, the allegations made in the writ petition are deemed to have not been admitted by the respondents.

There will be no order as to costs.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties, on priority basis. ( Shekhar B. Saraf, J.)
