HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 7148 of 2002 Dated 11.07.2007 Between: Pottula Venkata Ramana. …Petitioner and Govt. of A.P. and others. …Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 7148 of 2002 O R D E R: The petitioner held a licence in IL-24. The Government issued G.O.Ms.No.109, Revenue (Ex.II) Department, dated 11.03.2002 imposing certain conditions on the existing licences. One such condition is that the licence would be liable for cancellation, if the licensee fails to lift IML/beer up to six times the value of the proportionate licence fee. Another condition in the G.O. is to the effect that new retail outlets are allowed on the existing level of consumption. The petitioner felt aggrieved by these conditions and filed this writ petition. On 16.04.2002, this Court passed an interim order, directing that the process of drawing lots for the new shops may go on, but stayed the finalisation thereof, for a period of one week. The record discloses that the interim order was not extended further and on 18.04.2002, it was observed that the allotment of new shops would be subject to the result of the writ petition. Five years have elapsed and the year, for which, the policy was enunciated through the impugned G.O., had expired. Hence, nothing remains to be decided in this writ petition. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed as infrctuous. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 11.07.2007 JSU
