THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/09/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 28688 OF 2010 (I) ===================== Dated this the 16th day of September, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that he was a licencee of the respondent Corporation authorised to plant Vanila in one of their estates. According to them, for reasons which are totally unjustifiable, licence was cancelled. Complaining of the above, he has filed Ext.P12 before the 3rd respondent and even the representation remains unattended. It is in these circumstances the writ petition has been filed challenging the cancellation of licence. 2. Now that the representation filed by the petitioner is unanswered, I do not think it necessary for this Court to consider the issue on merits. Having regard to the above, the writ petition is disposed of without expressing anything on the merits and directing the 3rd respondent to pass orders on Ext.P12. This the 3rd respondent shall do, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
