NO. 869 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of January, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of bricks. The grievance of the petitioner is with respect to the non-consideration of Ext.P7 application for renewing the licence issued to her for conducting the aforesaid business. According to the petitioner, she has submitted Ext.P7 application for renewal of licence granted to her and it is still pending before the respondent. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent. Admittedly, Ext.P7 application submitted by the petitioner is pending before the respondent. Being the competent authority to consider the question regarding the grant of renewal of licence under the Kerala Panchayath Raj Act, the respondent is bound to consider Ext.P7 and pass orders thereon, in accordance with law. The learned standing counsel submitted that the petitioner has not produced the required documents for proper consideration of the said application. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsel on W.P.(C) NO.869/2011 2 both sides, this writ petition is disposed of as hereunder: The respondent shall intimate the petitioner with respect to the documents required for the purpose of consideration of Ext.P7 application. On receipt of the same, the petitioner shall make available the required documents. The respondent shall consider Ext.P7 application submitted by the petitioner for renewal of licence already granted to her and pass orders thereon expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two weeks from the date of production of such required documents.
