Having regard to the provisions contained in the OPP Act, the Petitioner is required to file his objection before the competent authority in accordance with the procedure prescribed under the p. 2 statute. However, considering the fact that the notice was issued on 15.07.2022, it is likely that the matter may have progressed in the meanwhile. Be that as it may, if any cause of action still survives, it is open to the Petitioner to file his objection before the appropriate authority in accordance with law. 4. With the aforesaid observation, the writ petition stands disposed of. (Chittaranjan Dash) Judge AKPradhan Designation: Senior Stenographer
