HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No.28745 of 2011 ORDER: 1. This Writ Petition is filed seeking to issue a writ of Mandamus declaring the show cause notice in Lr.No.485/HS/C9/CZGHMC/2011, dated 22.10.2011, issued by respondent No.2 cancelling the Trade license issued to the petitioner and directing the petitioner to close the business in the premises bearing APHP No.7, situated at Street No.2, Bagh Lingampally, Hyderabad, without issuing any prior notice and without affording any reasonable opportunity to the petitioner to submit his explanation, as illegal and arbitrary. 2. The brief facts of the case that are necessary for disposal of the Writ Petition may be as follows: - The petitioner is stated to have established a small car repairing shed in the premises referred to above about 18 years back by duly obtaining the Trade License Certificate which was being renewed from time to time. While so, on 21.10.2011, the authorities of the respondent-Corporation are stated to have inspected the said shed of the petitioner and tried to lock the same, without assigning any cogent reasons and without issuing any prior notice, but, on hectic resistance by the petitioner, the said authorities left the premises. On 22.10.2011, the petitioner received a show cause notice, which is impugned herein, cancelling the Trade License issued in his favour and directed him to close the business. Challenging the same, the present Writ Petition is filed. 3. Heard both sides. 4. The grievance of the petitioner is that by virtue of the impugned show cause notice without giving an opportunity, his Trade License was cancelled and he was directed to close the business in the premises referred to above, and hence, prays to set aside the impugned show cause notice. 5. Learned Standing Counsel for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation appearing for the respondents contended that though by virtue of the impugned order, the petitioner’s trade license was cancelled, the same is only a show cause notice for which an explanation can be given by the petitioner and thereupon, considering the same, appropriate decision shall be taken by respondent No.2. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner stated that the petitioner has submitted an explanation to the impugned show cause notice today. 7. Though by the impugned order, the Trade License of the petitioner was cancelled and he was directed to close the shed in question, virtually, the same can be treated as a show cause notice for which an explanation can be given by the petitioner. An explanation was given by the petitioner. Considering the same, an appropriate decision has to be taken by respondent No.2 in accordance with law. 8. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing respondent No.2 to take appropriate decision in accordance with law, considering the explanation submitted by the petitioner, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 24th October 2011 DR
