THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.26207 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner claims that he possesses Explosive License under the provisions of Explosives Act, 1884, and carries on business in fireworks during Deepavali festival in Vijayawada, by obtaining necessary permission/ license from the authorities concerned. He filed this writ petition, questioning the notification dated 14.10.2010 issued by the 1st respondent-Commissioner, Vijayawada Municipal Corporation, calling for applications from the concerned businessmen for installation of stalls for sale of fireworks at Swaraj Maidan (P.W.D. Ground) at Vijayawada, from 26.10.2010 to 06.11.2010. Though the petitioner raised several contentions with respect to the other conditions laid down in the notification as regards payment of certain amounts at the time of submission of application and time granted for submission of applications, he mainly confined his argument to the extent the impugned notification specified allotment of stalls by way of lots contending that such allotment by way of lots is bad as persons who do not possess valid license under the Explosives Act, have also applied for allotment of stalls and their applications have been received by the authorities, and in the event they are allotted stalls, it would amount to allotting stalls to persons who are not holding valid licences. Today, at the hearing, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 1st respondent submits that even though the applications of the persons, who are allegedly not possessing valid licenses, have been received by the authorities, ultimately, unless and until they produce valid licenses as required and fulfill the requirements under the notification, they will not be allotted stalls. In view of the above submission of the learned Standing Counsel that stalls will be allotted only to the persons who produce the required valid licenses and fulfill all other requirements alone, no interference is necessitated in this matter by this Court. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed, placing on record the submissions of the learned Standing Counsel noted above. No costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 22nd October, 2010 IBL
