In respect of the licence fee payable, there were litigations between the parties which culminated in Ext.P1 order passed by the Apex Court in Civil Appeal No.7847/2009. On the basis of Ext.P1, the petitioners submitted Ext.P3 to the respondents to quantify their liability in the light of Ext.P2, the Government Scheme 2008. Petitioners submit that orders have not been passed on Ext.P3 and therefore the writ Petition is filed. It is also their case that, if the liability is quantified as claimed by them, the liability will be only Rs.16,47,953/-,. 2. If as stated by the petitioner, Ext.P3 has been made there is no reason why the same shall not be considered by the first respondent.

This shall be done as expeditiously WPC.No.6657 /2010 :2 : as possible and at any rate within 2 months from the date of production of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of this writ petition.
