IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY VPH CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION No. 1017 OF 2008 Baba Jafar Pathan Petitioner Vs. The Commissioner of Police & Anr. Respondents Mr. Ujwal Agandsurve, for the petitioner. Mrs. S. D. Shinde, for the respondent. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI, & A. A. KUMBHKONI, JJ. DATE : JULY 21, 2008. PC :- 1. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. The grievance of the petitioner is that an order having been passed rejecting his application for renewal of licence for performance of the Orchestra programmes in the Hotel Paradise, under the Bombay Police Act, he filed an appeal against the said rejection and that appeal was also rejected by the appellate authority on 8th February, 2006. Even if the orders which are impugned in this petition are quashed, the petitioner would not get any relief, because the period for which he wanted extension of the period of licence has also expired. In this view of the matter, we dismiss the petition, giving liberty to the petitioner to move a fresh application for grant of licence and if such an application is moved by the - 2 - petitioner to the competent authority, the said authority shall decide the application within a period of four weeks thereafter.
