' This petition under Article 199 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973 assails the order of the respondent whereby the shop in possession of the petitioner was sealed. One of the grounds urged in support of this petition is that the petitioner was not granted any hearing before the order of sealing of the shop was passed by the respondent.

2. Today Mr. Fayyaz Hussain Qadri, learned counsel for the respondent has stated that the respondent has no objection if the order impugned in this petition is set aside and the matter is remanded to the respondent for decision afresh after allowing the petitioner an opportunity of being heard. The learned counsel for the petitioner has also no objection.

As a result of what has been stated above this petition is accepted, the impugned action of the respondent in sealing the shop is declared to be without lawful authority and of no legal effect and the case is remanded for decision afresh after allowing the petitioner an opportunity of being heard.

' There shall be no order as to costs.
