The prayer in the writ petition is to afford protection to the petitioner for conducting a Restaurant and Bar without obstruction from the 4th respondent and his henchmen. The petitioner claims to be the Managing Partner of the Firm. 2. Today when the matter came up, learned Senior counsel for the petitioner submits that the very licence in favour of the Firm has expired on 31.3.2010. As things stand, there is no need to issue any further orders. 3. This Writ Petition is accordingly closed. We make it clear that we have not pronounced on the merits of the contentions raised by either party. (K. M. JOSEPH) Judge (M.L. JOSEPH FRANCIS) tm Judge
