At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise submitted that the Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise called for an enquiry report from respondent No.1 for considering grant of prior clearance and that so far, no decision has been taken as yet. In view of this submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader for prohibition and Excise, I am of the view that the writ petition is premature. Smt. A.Padma, learned counsel for the petitioners stated that in view of the above mentioned submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader, the petitioners may be permitted to withdraw the writ petition with liberty to file objections at an appropriate stage before respondent No.1 against the proposed grant of license in favour of respondent No.3. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to the petitioners in terms of the prayer made. This order shall not preclude the petitioners from availing appropriate remedies, if they are aggrieved by the decisions taken by the authorities for grant of license in favour of respondent No.3. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition as withdrawn, WPMP.No.9916 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 15th APRIL, 2008 kvni
