HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8198 OF 2007 ORDER: The petitioners are the tenants of mulgies within the area of operation of Municipal Corporation of Nizamabad. They intended to start vegetable business in the mulgies and are said to have applied for trade licence. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondent is prohibiting them from undertaking the business. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondent. 3. Any commercial activity, including the sale of vegetables, within the limits of a Municipality or a Municipal Corporation needs permission from the concerned local authority. Admittedly, the petitioners have not obtained such trade licence or permission. Mere submission of application would not enable them to run the business. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioners to pursue the matter with the respondent Corporation seeking licence / permission and to run the business as and when such permission / licence is granted. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J February 17, 2011. KTL
