According to the petitioner, it was established in the year 1978 and it has applied for common licence in the prescribed form on 25.09.1998, as per G.O.Ms.No.99 dated 17.07.1998 and that, respondent No.3 has refused to issue common licence, against which, an appeal was filed on 04.04.1999. It is the pleaded case that as a criminal case was pending against the proprietor of the petitioner-saw mill, its appeal was not disposed of and that, after the same ended in acquittal on 14.12.2006, a fresh appeal was filed in April, 2007. The petitioner feels aggrieved by non-disposal of the said appeal by respondent No.2. Neither counter-affidavit is filed nor any instructions are reported on behalf of the respondents. If the petitioner’s claim that it has filed an appeal is correct, the same deserves to be disposed of in accordance with law. Therefore, respondent No.2 is directed to dispose of the petitioner’s appeal, if not already done, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, W.P.M.P.No.24223 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 28th September, 2011 DR
