It is alleged that even the applications for grant of licence are not being accepted by the Municipal authorities and the representation in this regard filed by a large number of shop keepers dealing in chicken, mutton, fish, etc. is being ignored as a result of which the petitioner was compelled to send a legal notice dated 3.3.2009 to the Executive Officer, Nagar Parishad, Barh. It is submitted that even thereafter the authorities are not taking any step in the matter and on the other hand they have appointed private contractors for illegally realizing huge amount from the dealers of flesh without issuing any proper licence on payment of a reasonable licence fee. 2 Learned counsel for the Barh Nagar Parishad states that the representation dated 24.2.2009 is not signed by the petitioner although the legal notice has been sent on his behalf also. In the above circumstances, the writ application is disposed of with a direction that the petitioner shall file a representation along with a copy of this order before the respondent Executive Officer, Nagar Parishad, Barh, who shall dispose of the same within a period of three weeks from the filing of such representation in accordance with law.
