And The Commissioner, Prohibition and Excise, Nampally Road, Hyderabad and others. ………Respondents. O R D E R: None appears for the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that granting of licence by the 1st respondent in favour of 4th respondent is contrary to the Rule 6 of Andhra Pradesh (Excise Indian and Foreign Liquor Retail Sale Conditions of Licence) Rules, 1993. Heard the learned Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise, appearing for the respondents and she brought to the notice of this Court that the said Rule has been superceded by the Andhra Pradesh Excise (Grant of Licence of Selling Bar and Conditions of Licence) Rules, 2005 (for short ‘the Rules’) and the grant of licence to retail shops falls under Rule 27 of the Rules. The said Rules will not apply to the shops located in the Municipal Corporations. Accordingly, there is no issue to be adjudicated, as there is no violation of principles of natural justice or infringement of statutory or legal right of writ petitioner. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. -------------------------- Justice K.C.BHANU. 15th September 2005. BCS
