At the hearing, Sri V.V.Satish, learned counsel representing Sri O.Manohar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that since respondent No.1 is considering the objections of the petitioner against the application of respondent No.5 for grant of 2-B license, the cause in the Writ Petition does not survive for consideration. He further submitted that liberty may be given to the petitioner to avail his remedy in the event respondent No.1 passes an adverse order. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed with liberty in terms of the prayer made. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:01-04-2010 MNR
