However, having considered the averments in the writ petition and the prayers sought for therein, I am of the view that no prejudice will be caused to the respondent or to anybody else, who is opposed to the issuance of licence to the petitioner, by passing the following orders. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of issuing the following directions: If application for licence submitted by the petitioner is pending with the respondent Municipality and if the same is otherwise in order, the Municipality will hear the petitioner and also anybody else who according to the Municipality will be interested in the matter and take a correct decision on the application at the earliest and at any rate within one month of the petitioner producing a copy of this judgment before the respondent.
