She is said to have died on 05.11.2004. The petitioner states that he made an application on 17.12.2004 to the respondents to grant the licence in his name, since the entire family was depending upon the income derived out of selling the kerosene. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. A kerosene hawker’s licence was issued to the mother of the petitioner. With her death, the licence comes to an end. The licence is not inheritable. The petitioner claims to have made an application on 17.12.2004 for grant of licence in the place of his mother. Though the petitioner almost claimed in the form of a succession, the respondents can certainly consider the application of the petitioner in accordance with the existing rules and norms for grant of licence, afresh. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the application of the petitioner dated 17.12.2004 in accordance with the existing provisions of law and pass appropriate orders within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. ---------------------- 27.12.2004 ksld To 1 The Joint Collector (Civil Supplies), Guntur, Guntur District. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Guntur, Guntur District. 3 The Mandal Revenue Officer Ungutur, Amaravathi, Guntur District. 4 Two CCs. to the G.P. for Civil Supplies, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad (OUT) 5 Two CD copies.
