The petitioner was granted Licence No.17/2000, dated 05.05.2000, which was valid up to 31.12.2000. The same was renewed for the next year and also for the following year from 01.01.2002 to 31.12.2002. The sixth respondent registered Crime No.158 of 2000 under Sections 3 & 4 of the A.P.Gaming Act, 1974. Therefore, the first respondent issued a show cause notice of cancellation. The Managing Director of the Club submitted an explanation. After considering the same, the first respondent cancelled the licence. Assailing the same, the present writ petition is filed. This Court while admitting the writ petition on 27.11.2002 passed interim orders suspending the impugned order. Therefore, by reason of the said interim order, the licence was valid up to 31.12.2002. It is not known whether the licences were renewed or not. Insofar as the cancellation of Licence No.17/2000, which was valid up to 31.12.2002 is concerned, by reason of the interim orders, the same remained valid and therefore, nothing survives in the writ petition. The writ petition is therefore, dismissed as infructuous. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 28.06.2005 vs To 1 The Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad. 2 The Joint Commissioner of Police,(Admn)., Hyderabad. 3 The Deputy Commissioner of Police, West Zone, Hyderabad. 4 The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Task Force, Hyderabad. 5 The Asst.
