Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that notice of hearing of the writ petition was served on the DMC by mail today ,i.e. the 7th of May, 2020.

By the impugned notice the petitioner has been threatened with eviction from the premises in issue inspite of the submitted fact that the respondents/DMC is still collecting rents from the petitioner.

The petitioner also alleges that the impugned notice is not preceded by a show cause alleging any acts of omission or commission on the part of the petitioner to continue to be in possession of the premises 2 in issue which the petitioner further submits is under an active lease which has not been terminated.

The Petitioner is aggrieved by the notification issued by the Department of Urban Development and Municipal Affairs, Government of West Bengal dated 6.5.2020 being no. 334/MA/O/C­4/1A­1/2020 as issued by its Principal Secretary.

By the said impugned notification the powers of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has been vested on a Board of Administrators (BOA).
