-: 1 :- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 7184 OF 2011 Smt. Renuka R. Yeolekar. ..Petitioner. Versus State of Maharashtra & Ors. ..Respondents. Mr. N. K. Desai for the petitioner. Ms. P. S. Cardozo, AGP. Coram : RANJIT MORE, J. Date : October 21, 2011. P. C. : 1. By this petition, the petitioner challenges the order passed by respondent no.2 as confirmed by respondent no.4 under which the PPEL Licence in respect of the petitioner’s establishment – Rajesh Restaurant and Bar is suspended for the period of 120 days. The said licence is suspended for contravention of various provisions of the Rules for Keeping Places of Public Entertainment in Greater Bombay, 1953. The petitioner has now tendered an undertaking to the effect that she will keep closed her establishment for a shorter period for the alleged breaches and requested that the period of suspension may kindly be reduced. Said undertaking is taken on record and marked “X” for identification. srp -: 2 :- 2. Having gone through the alleged breaches coupled with the fact that the petitioner, who is the widow, has given undertaking to this Court that she will abide by the said Rules in future, I am of the view that the punishment of suspension of PPEL Licence for the period of 120 days would be rather harsh. I am of the view that for the alleged violations/ breaches of the Rules for Keeping Places of Public Entertainment in Greater Bombay, 1953 and looking into the facts and circumstances of the case, the punishment of suspension for 45 days is sufficient. Hence, suspension of the PPEL Licence directed by the impugned orders is reduced to 45 days. Accordingly, it is directed that the petitioner shall keep closed her establishment for the period of 45 days from today. The impugned orders stand modified. Writ petition is disposed of in the above terms. (RANJIT MORE, J.)
