PLEADER SHRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 13223 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 17th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges Ext.P3 order of the 2nd respondent, whereby the petitioner's licence to deal in explosives has been cancelled on the ground that the licensed premises is in a very crowded street and it has no access for fire fighting vehicle. The facts that the shop is in a crowded street and a fire fighting vehicle cannot reach the premises are not disputed by the petitioner. I am of opinion that these are very relevant considerations for continuing a licence to deal in explosives. Therefore, I do not find anything wrong with Ext.P3 order of the 2nd respondent. Hence, this writ petition is dismissed. However, if the petitioner finds an alternate place, which meets the stipulation under law, the petitioner may file an application for fresh licence for such premises.
