THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.8377 of 2007 ORDER This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus to declare the action of 1st and 2nd respondents in not canceling the licence granted in favour of 3rd respondent even though the lease period is expired as illegal and arbitrary and contrary to Rule 152(1) and 144 of the Petroleum Rules, 1976 and consequently to direct 1st and 2nd respondents to restrain 3rd respondent from storing petroleum in the leased premises. There is no necessity of going into all the details. It appears that the petitioners made a representation dated 22-2-2007 to 1st and 2nd respondents in terms of Rule 152(1) of the Petroleum Rules, 2002 and no decision has been taken till date. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents submits that there are some disputes between the petitioners and 3rd respondent and suits are pending in the competent civil Court. Under those circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, 1st and 2nd respondents are directed to dispose of the representation purported to have been made by the petitioners on 22-2-2007 in terms of Rule 152 (1) of the Petroleum Rules 2002 and pass appropriate orders after hearing all the parties concerned by putting them on notice, as per law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. _______________ C.V.RAMULU,J rkk Dated: 7-12-2010
