PLEADER SHRI.M.A.ASIF THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 05/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.17715 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 5th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking a direction to prevent respondents 1 to 3 from issuing explosive licence to the 4th respondent. On 8.6.2010, I passed an interim order directing the 1st respondent not to issue explosive licence to the 4th respondent, without obtaining orders from this Court. The 4th respondent filed W.A.No.1104/2010 challenging the interim order on the ground that explosive licence was issued to the 4th respondent on 19.5.2010 before passing of the interim order. Consequently, the Division Bench has, on 29.6.2010, vacated the interim order reserving the right of the petitioner to seek appropriate reliefs including any relief by making suitable amendments to the writ petition. The petitioner now submits that the petitioner may be permitted to withdraw this writ petition without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file a fresh writ petition incorporating additional grounds and prayers including a challenge against the explosive licence issued to the 4th respondent. Permission is granted and the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn with the above liberty. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge 2 sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE
