THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO : 21382 of 2004 Dated: 03.08.2005 Between: Charminar Sports & Cultural Association Rep.by its President, S.Pochaiah, S/o.Late.S.Pochaiah, aged about 50 years, R/o.19-5-479/19, Nandi Musliaguda, Kishanbagh, Hyderabad. ..... PETITIONER AND 1. The Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad, Purani Haveli, Hyderabad, and others. …. RESPONDENTS ORDER: Charminar Sports & Cultural Association seeks a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not renewing the licence for establishment of Public Entertainment (Category-II) by the 1st respondent as arbitrary and illegal. It is the case of the petitioner that it was granted licence on 17.01.2001, which was valid up to 31.12.2001. Thereafter, the licence was cancelled. The petitioner filed W.P.No.19652 of 2001. This Court set aside the cancellation order giving liberty to respondent No.1 to initiate action against the petitioner, if there is any contravention of law. It is now alleged that though the petitioner paid the requisite licence fee for renewal, the first respondent did not grant licence in spite of several representations. This Court while admitting the writ petition directed the first respondent to consider the application said to have been filed by the petitioner for grant or renewal of licence. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home is not able to say as to whether the licence was renewed or not. Therefore, instead of keeping the matter pending, the first respondent is directed to dispose of the representation of the petitioner, if any, if not already disposed of for grant or renewal of licence, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 03.08.2005 vs
