Therefore, while not interfering with the impugned SCN and obviously the Seizure Mahazar prior to the impugned SCN, this Court deems it appropriate to direct respondents to afford an opportunity of personal hearing to the writ petitioner by communicating the date, time and venue of the personal hearing well in advance and thereafter proceed with the adjudication and carry the impugned SCN to its logical end. In the interregnum, it is made clear that there is no impediment for the respondents to process the application for provisional release under Section 110-A of said Act, which is said to have been made. Petition disposed off.
