No.30075 of 2010 (H) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 30th day of September, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a licensed sand dealer. According to the petitioner, pursuant to Ext.P2 (A) order of the District Collector, Ext.P2 show cause notice dated 17/09/2010 was issued by the 3rd respondent calling upon the petitioner to show cause why his licence shall not be cancelled. It is stated that though he filed Ext.P3 explanation, proceedings have not been finalised. In the meanwhile, the 3rd respondent is not issuing P-form to him. It is with this grievance, this writ petition has been filed. Obviously, it is because of the pendency of Ext.P2 proceedings that P-form is declined to the petitioner. 2. Having regard to the nature of the case, what is required to be done is that the proceedings initiated should be finalised. Therefore, I direct that the 3rd respondent shall finalise the proceedings initiated by Ext.P2, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within ten days of production of a copy of this judgment. WP(C) No.30075/2010 -2- The petitioner also has a complaint that the Revenue officers are conducting search and seizure in his premises. It is seen that he has filed a complaint in this regard and the same is pending before the District Collector, a copy thereof is Ext.P4. If as stated by the petitioner, this complaint has been received and is pending, the District Collector shall look into the grievances and take appropriate action in the matter. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
