JUDGMENT The writ petitioner, a lawyer by profession, is aggrieved by the grant of licence to run lodges near his residence. The main prayer in the writ petition is the following: “to issue a writ of certiorari or other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the Municipal Corporation to cancel the license for those who have not obeyed building rules and Hotel Receipt Tax Rules and no sufficient number of entries and drains and space for car park.” It is pointed out by the learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation that no specific instances have been pointed out in the writ petition and the allegations are too vague, even for the Corporation to verify the particulars. A reading of the grounds of the writ petition also shows that the petitioner has not pin-pointed any specific instances of violation of the provisions of the Rules and Acts mentioned therein, in respect of any particular licensee. 2. In that view of the matter, as the prayer made by the petitioner is so general in nature, no relief can be granted in the writ petition. The same is dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to move before wpc 10498/2010 2 the appropriate authority if he has got any specific allegations in respect of any particular lodges or any particular institutions, etc. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
