HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.648 of 2008 Date : 02.08.2011 Between : P. Girija. …..Petitioner And The Station House Officer, IV Town Police Station, Kurnool & another. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.648 of 2008 ORDER : Though interlocutory matters are listed for hearing, at the request of the learned counsel for petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents, the writ petition itself is taken up for hearing and is being disposed of. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in insisting her not to run the mineral water plant at Kalluru estate of Kurnool, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the allegation of the petitioner that she is the licencee to manufacture mineral water and on the ground that her husband was involved in a criminal case, respondents are insisting for closure of their water plant. At the stage of admission, by order dated 21.01.2008, this Court directed the respondents to allow the petitioner to carry on the business as per the licence conditions issued in favour of M/s.J.S.Beverages, vide proceedings Ref.No.MDH/2630/L-6458077, dated 18.05.2007. Though the writ petition is of 2008, no counter affidavit is filed. As much as the only allegation of the petitioner is that merely on the ground that a criminal case was registered against her husband, she is not being allowed to run the water plant, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the respondents not to interfere with the mineral water plant of the petitioner on the ground that her husband was involved in a criminal case. However, it is made clear that if the petitioner violates the conditions of licence in running such unit, this order will not preclude the authorities from taking appropriate action in accordance with law. Subject to the above directions, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 2nd August 2011 ajr
