Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.KOWTURU VINAYA KUMAR Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR PROHIBITION & EXCISE The Court, at the stage of admission, made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is premature. Petitioners are licencees holding IL-24 licence in Tiruvuru Gram Panchayath. They “came to know” that the third respondent is entertaining applications for the establishment of Bar and Restaurant and grant of an IL-17 licence around Tiruvuru, which is a Gram Panchayath contrary to the extant Rules i.e., A.P.Excise (Grant of Licence of selling by Bar and conditions of licence) Rules, 2005, issued in G.O.Ms.997, dated 24-05-2005. Contending that no IL-17 licences could be issued in Gram Panchayath area, the writ petition is filed. Admittedly, licences have not yet been granted. The writ petition is, therefore, premature and is accordingly dismissed at the admission stage. _________________ 07-07-2005. Lrkm. To 1.
