The reason for not receiving the application for licence by the Corporation, according to the petitioner, is opposition from the 2nd respondent. The petitioner relies on Ext.P2 judgment of the Local Munsiff's Court by which Ext.P1 suit filed by the 2nd respondent-landlady for an injunction restraining the petitioner from conducting business was dismissed as not pressed. 2. Mr.S.Ramesh Babu, Standing Counsel takes notice for the 1st respondent-Corporation. In the nature of the order which is being passed hereunder, I am of the view that notice need not be issued to the 2nd respondent. Accordingly, the Writ Petition will stand disposed of in the following terms: The 1st respondent-Corporation will receive Ext.P3 application for licence from the petitioner, consider the same in the light of the various grounds raised in the Writ Petition and take a decision on Ext.P3 after hearing the petitioner as well as the 2nd respondent. W.P.C.No. 33723/06 - 2 - Decision as directed above will be taken by the Corporation at the earliest and at any rate within three weeks from the date of receipt of Ext.P3 application for licence. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
