JUDGMENT This original petition is filed by the petitioner seeking for a direction restraining the second respondent from issuing new licences and renewing existing booths/bunks in its area without inviting tenders and public notice. 2. In the affidavit filed by the third respondent, it is pointed out that a Division Bench of this Court is monitoring the renewing of licences presently undertaken by the Municipality, pending final decision in W.A. Nos.2332/1998, 2258/1998 and 2349/1998. In that view of the matter, evidently, the same will be governed by the directions issued by the Division Bench. 3. Therefore, the petitioners are not entitled for any further directions in this original petition. Further, the persons whose licences are prevented from being renewed, are not made parties in this original petition. Therefore, the original petition is dismissed. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/ 2 T.R. Ramachandran Nair, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - O.P.
