THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No 13962 of 2006 Date: 24.6.2010 Between: M/s.Nikitha Bar & Restaurant ..... PETITIONER AND The Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad City, Hyderabad and others. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner : Sri D. Sudarshan Reddy Counsel for the Respondent Nos. 1 to 4 : A.G.P. for Home The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No :13962 of 2006 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in interfering with the lawful business of the petitioner. The dispute raised by the petitioner in this writ petition pertains to Police Licence. While the petitioner’s licence was renewed upto 3.12.2006, by order dated 28.3.2006, respondent No.1 rejected the petitioner’s request for renewal of entertainment licence. At the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that while it has approached respondent No.2 for grant of amusement licence, the latter was wholly unjustified in cancelling the existing entertainment licence, which was renewed upto 31.12.2006. While, I see justification in this grievance of the petitioner, however, having regard to the fact that the entertainment licence of the petitioner was renewed only upto 31.12.2006 and the observations of respondent No.2 in the impugned order that the petitioner’s case will be reconsidered for issue of entertainment licence subject to fulfillment of parking space requirement, as laid down in G.O. Ms. No.423, dated 31.1.1998 and G.O. Ms. No. 129, dated 2.7.2005, it is not necessary for this Court to render conclusive findings on the validity or otherwise of the impugned order. It will suffice if the petitioner is permitted to make a fresh application and respondent No.2 is directed to dispose of such application for grant of entertainment licence in accordance with law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. If the petitioner makes an application as referred to above, respondent No.2 shall consider and dispose of the same as expeditiously as possible. No costs. __________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY,J DATE: 24th June, 2010 pnb
