Petitioner engaged one Sk.Babavali as the skilled worker in view of the certificate issued vide notification dated 04-11-1996. As the said notification dated 04-11-1996 itself was the subject-matter of the Writ Petition No.24156 of 1996, dated 14-11-1996 the application for the alteration of the skilled worker in repairing licence of the petitioner was returned. The said W.P.No.24156 of 1996 was dismissed by this Court on 20-04-1999. As the said writ petition itself has been dismissed there cannot be any justification on the part of the 2nd respondent in returning the said application. 3. Accordingly the Writ Petition is allowed and the 2nd respondent is directed to consider the application of the petitioner, dated 19-01-1999, for grant of licence to run the business in repairing Weights and Measures, in accordance with law. ___________________ V.
