1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 2016 OF 2007 Smt. Chhayadevi Suresh Jaiswal vs. Commissioner of Police & Ors. Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Shri S. Voditel, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri N.W. Sambre, GP for the respondents. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, JJ. MARCH 28, 2008. Heard learned counsel for the parties. A show cause notice was issued to petitioner in 2005 to show cause as to why her eating house registration certificate be not cancelled for not having made arrangement for parking of vehicles of the customers coming to her eating house. Though the petitioner filed objections to the show cause notice, which were required to be submitted by him within 15 days with effect from 14.10.2005, the petitioner did not allow the respondents to decide the matter as she approached this Court in writ petition and got stay in the matter. As the petitioner got stay in the matter, 2 her objections pursuant to the show cause notice could not be considered by the concerned authority and no orders after hearing the petitioner on the show cause notice could be passed. The learned counsel for the petitioner strenuously argued that there are others in the area who were also not having the facility of parking but they were not being objected to by the respondents. In a way, this is an admission of the petitioner that he does not have parking facility for the customers coming to his eating place, which was required under the condition of licence. If others are violating the law that does not mean that the petitioner can also violate the law. Prima facie, there is violation of condition in the eating house licence granted to the petitioner. Since the petitioner has already filed reply, the respondents may decide the matter after giving a hearing to the petitioner. Any observations in this order should not be taken as expression of an opinion over the merits of the matter. The observations are made by us only to dispose of this writ petition. In the light of the submissions made by the petitioner, we also direct the respondents to look into the matter and see whether there are 3 others, who are violating the law and take appropriate action against them also in accordance with law.
