DATED : 16TH JULY, 2008. DATED : 16TH JULY, 2008. DATED : 16TH JULY, 2008. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . Heard Mrs.Bobby M. Paul, Advocate for the petitioner and learned AGP for the respondent nos.1 & 5. 2. By the impugned order, "the licence given to the petitioner to keep a place of public entertainment" was suspended for the period of 15 days. There is no dispute that the period of 15 days is already expired and in that view of the matter, the writ petition is rendered infructuous. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submitted that the petitioner has filed application for renewal of the aforesaid licence before the respondent -: 2 :- no.2. However, the respondent no.2 has not taken any decision so far. In view of the above, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondent no.2 to take decision regarding renewal of the petitioner’s aforesaid licence in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible and within a period of 15 days from the date of the receipt of the writ of this order. 4. The petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( R.V. MORE, J.) .....
