Shri Yashwant Singh. iearned G.A for the State / respondent No.1. Shri Bhishma Kinger, isarned counsel for respondent No.2. (Passed oM5t''NoveRiber, 2006) The grievance of the petitioner is that having obtained dealership from the second respondent-corporation, made an appiication to the Coiiector, Raigarh, the first respondent herein, for grant of Retail Selling Licence as far back as on 30.8.2006, the first respondent has not yet considered and disposed ofthat appiication. tn the circumstance, this v;rit petltion is fiied for a direction to the first respondent to grant Retaii Se!!in< License under the MP/CG Motor Spirit And High Speed Diesei Oij (Ltcensing And Controi) Order 1980. The first respondent has not refused Al.i**tS;S-..'=B^S= iicense to the petitioner and the application made by the petitioner is pending conssderation of the first respondent. In that view of the matter, the Court directing the first respondent to issue Retail Seiiing License at this stage wouid not arise. 1 think that the ends of jusfice v/ou!d be met by directing the first respondent to consider and pass appropriate order on the application made by the petitioner within a time-frame. Accordingly, writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider.the application and pass appropriate order on the application of the petitioner for grant of Retaii SeiEing License made under the MP/CG Motor Spirit And High Speed Diesel Oi! (Licensing And Control) Order 1S80, if not already done, within a period of bvo weeks' from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Sd/- Chief Justice ^ —. 1"- -J^
