THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.6299 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner-Toddy Tappers’ Co-operative Society was granted icence for retail sale of toddy in Shop Nos.1 to 4 in Zaheerabad. By order dated 7.01.2006, passed by the 1st respondent-Prohibition and Excise Superintendent, licence in favour of the petitioner-society in respect of Shop No.3 was cancelled under Section 31(1)(b) of the Excise Act, 1968. Subsequently, by order dated 10.03.2006, licenses in respect of toddy shop Nos.1, 2 and 4 were also cancelled. Petitioner states that questioning the said orders, two separate appeals have been filed before the 2nd respondent-Deputy Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise, on 24.03.2005. Though interim stay of the orders of cancellation have been sought, the 2nd respondent has not passed any orders so far. The petitioner alleges that in the meanwhile, respondents are contemplating to grant fresh licenses in favour of 3rd parties. Hence, this Writ Petition. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Government Pleader appearing for respondent, and keeping in view the fact that the petitioner-society had already preferred appeals against the orders of cancellation, I deem it appropriate to direct the 2nd respondent to consider the interim applications filed in the appeals filed by the petitioner-society and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such orders are passed, there shall be a direction to respondents not to grant any fresh licenses in favour of third parties within the area of operation of the petitioner-society. The Writ Petition is accordingly, disposed of. No costs. ____________ (G. ROHINI, J.) 31st March, 2006. Kgr THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.6399 OF 2006 31st March, 2006.
