IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE THIRD DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 26983 of 2007 Between: Chandraiah Goud, s/o. Mogulaiah Goud, R/o. Tandur Municipality and Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The Proh. & Excise Superintendent, Rajendranagar, Rangareddy District, Govt. of A.P. 2 The District Collector, Rangareddy District, Govt. of A.P. 3 The Commissioner of Proh. & Excise Govt. of A.P. at Hyderabad. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.AMARNATH GOUD THODUPUNURI Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR PROHIBITION & EXCISE The Court made the following : ORDER: In this Writ Petition, the sole grievance of the petitioner is that the application filed by him along with several other persons belonging to Tappers Community for sanctioning of a Tappers Co-operative Society is kept pending without being disposed of. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Excise submitted that in respect of the same area of operation, for which the petitioner made the application for formation of a new Society, there was an existing Society, whose excise license was cancelled for indulging in acts of adulteration, and that a revision petition filed by that Society is pending. The learned Assistant Government Pleader, however, is unable to state the present stage of the said revision. In my considered view, it will suffice if respondent No.3, who is the competent authority to sanction a new Tappers Co-operative Society, examines the application of the petitioner and disposes of the same by passing a reasoned order. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.2 to dispose of the petitioner’s application dated 26-11-2007 in accordance with law and communicate the decision to the petitioner within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.35281 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 3rd June, 2008 Note: Furnish CC in one week.
