THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 21687 of 2011 Dated: 16.08.2011 Between: G.Govind Raj Goud, Ranga Reddy District. ..... PETITIONERS AND The Prohibition and Excise Superintendent, Ranga Reddy District. .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 21687 of 2011 O R D E R : The petitioner herein is the licence holder of toddy shop bearing licence No.400 of counter No.1, Munnur Somaram Village, Ranga Reddy District. This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the order dated 17.05.2011 passed by the Prohibition and Excise Superintendent, Rajendranagar, suspending the petitioner’s licence pending enquiry into the allegation that the petitioner had indulged in sale of adulterated toddy is arbitrary and illegal. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Learned Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise on instructions submitted that a show cause notice dated 12.07.2011 was issued calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why the licence should not be cancelled and appropriate final orders would be passed following due process of law at the earliest. However, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the show cause notice was served on the petitioner only on 09.08.2011. Having regard to the admitted fact that the enquiry has already been initiated, it is not necessary for this Court to go into the merits of the case and the interference with the impugned order of suspension is not warranted at this stage. Instead, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to conclude the enquiry without any delay. Accordingly, the petitioner is hereby permitted to submit his explanation to the show cause notice, if not already submitted, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of this order. The respondent shall complete the enquiry and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of two weeks thereafter. Writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 16.08.2011 KLP
