FOR HOME The Court made the following: ORDER: By impugned order, the first respondent kept the licence of petitioner’s cinema theatre under suspension on allegation that the petitioner contravened the conditions of B Form licence. The same is assailed only on the ground that a show cause notice was not issued prior to passing the impugned order. This Court while admitting the writ petition on 10.9.2001 passed orders of interim suspension in W.P.M.P.No.23612 of 2001. By reason of the said interim orders, the petitioner is running the cinema theatre. Therefore, instead of keeping the matter pending, the writ petition is disposed of setting aside the impugned order. It shall, however, be open to the first respondent to take action against the petitioner in accordance with law. The writ petition, with the above observations, is disposed of. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) 28.06.2005 YS To 1 The Joint Collector & Licensing Authority, Srikakulam, Srikakulam District. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Srikakulam, Srikakulam District. 3 Two CCs to the Government Pleader for Home, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad.
