Petitioner versus State of Maharashtra & Ors .. Respondents Mr.Pankaj C. Kansara for the petitioner. Mr.S.N.Patil, A.G.P for respondent Nos.1 to 5. CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. 17th JUNE 2011. P.C.: . Heard both sides. The only request that is made by the petitioner is to take a lenient view of the punishment inasmuch as suspension of licence of three weeks is excessive and unreasonable bearing in mind the nature of the lapses and violation of the terms and conditions of the licence. 2 After having perused the petition and the impugned order, I am of the opinion that the order itself records that the petitioner has stopped the activity of a dance bar and orchestra wp3919-11.doc 2 and has been now running the establishment purely as restaurant for serving food and liquor. In these circumstances, the period of suspension is reduced from 21 days to 15 days. Save and except for this modification, the impugned order is maintained. The petition is disposed off. The suspension shall take effect from 1st July 2011. (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J)
