JUDGMENT Notice to the respondent is dispensed with preserving its right to seek re-hearing of this writ petition, if aggrieved. The petitioner filed an application for issuance of licence under the Kerala Panchayat Raj (Issue of licence to Dangerous and Offensive Trades and Factories) Rules, 1996. He states that the application not having been considered within thirty days, he is entitled to a declaration as to deemed licence. It is true that law provides deeming of licence for the purpose of running a business in accordance with law. Even if it is a deemed licence, the sanction is only to carry on the activity in accordance with law. However, having regard to the nature of the activity that WPC26603/09 -: 2 :- the petitioner proposes, it is ordered that the petitioner's application for licence Ext.P1 will be taken up, considered and orders issued within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. All other issues are left open. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/290909
