Analysis:
1. The appellant filed a Writ Petition seeking a Writ of Certiorari to challenge the second notice dated 31.03.2015 and the consequential communication dated 18.02.2016 issued by the second respondent. The appellant requested to quash these documents.

During the hearing before the Single Judge, the petitioner's counsel requested to keep all contentions open and informed that the petitioner had already responded to the second respondent's notices. Consequently, the Single Judge directed the second respondent to provide a personal hearing opportunity to the appellant before making any further decisions, emphasizing that all contentions of the writ petitioner remain open.
