JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J. In view of the interim order passed by this Court, no further orders are required in this writ petition. But, it is clarified that the order of this Court will not affect the powers of the competent authority to consider the representations against the grant of licence for the conduct of the toddy shop or its location in the present site and pass appropriate orders thereon. Needless to say, if the licence is suspended or cancelled, the order to grant protection shall also stand recalled. With the above clarification, the writ petition is closed.
