HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.29349 of 2010 Date: 24th November 2010 Between : Venkatesh A/C. Theatre (Sree Guru Raghavendra Film Exhibitors (P) Ltd.), Kurnool, rep. by its Director. …….Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Secretary, Home & another. ….Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.29349 of 2010 ORDER : Heard learned counsel for petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions to the 2nd respondent, to implement the orders issued by the Government in G.O.Ms.No.369, Home (General ‘A’) Department, dated 18.12.2008. The petitioner theatre is a licensee under the provisions of the A.P.Cinema (Regulation) Act, 1955. The Government has issued G.O.Ms.No.369, dated 18.12.2008, permitting enhancement of rates of admission in upper classes in certain cinema theatres in the State. It is the case of the petitioner that he has made a representation to the 2nd respondent, which was received by the 2nd respondent on 04.09.2010, in which, he has made a request to permit for enhancement of rates in various classes and categories of seats. Although the petitioner is placing reliance on the orders issued by the Government in G.O.Ms.No.369, dated 18.12.2008, but in view of pendency of the representation submitted by the petitioner to the licensing authority to consider such request, even before consideration of the said representation filed by the petitioner, no directions can be granted as prayed for. Whether the claim of the petitioner will fit into the orders issued by the Government, is a matter, which is required to be examined by the 2nd respondent licensing authority. In view of the pendency of representation of the petitioner, in which, he made a request for increase of rates of admission, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner, received on 04.09.2010 and pass appropriate orders, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. I am sure, while considering such representation, the licensing authority shall keep in mind the orders issued by the Government in G.O.Ms.No.396, dated 18.12.2008. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 24th November 2010 Note: Furnish C.C. by tomorrow. (b/o) ajr
