THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/09/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, J. .......................................................... W.P.(C)No.27806 OF 2007 ........................................................... DATED THIS THE 19TH SEPTEMBER, 2007 J U D G M E N T The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent- Municipality is not taking action on the applications he has submitted for renewal of the licences Exts.P1 and P1(a) issued to him for his small scale industrial units by name 'Sanker's Hollow Bricks' and 'Sanker's Welding Engineering'. According to the petitioner, there is no justifiable reason for not granting renewal of licences early. The materials placed on record will show that he submitted applications for renewal. I dispose of the Writ Petition without going into the merits of the grounds raised, directing the respondent-Municipality to consider and pass orders on the petitioner's applications for renewal of licences Exts.P1 and P1(a) early and at any rate within three weeks of receiving copy of this judgment. If the respondent feels that there are good reasons for not considering the applications favourably to the petitioner, then the respondent shall issue notice to the petitioner and pass orders only after hearing him.
