THE HON'BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT APPEAL No.2064 of 2005 Date: 24-10-2005 Between: M/s Lakshmi Talkies …Appellant And The Collector and Licensing Authority and others …Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT APPEAL No.2064 of 2005 J U D G M E N T (Per the Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, ACJ): WAMP No.3666 of 2005: Implead petition is ordered. Heard learned counsel for the parties. This appeal is against the order of the learned Single Judge in Writ Petition No.18328 of 2005. The controversy in the writ petition was about the legality of Memo No.16913/Genl.A2/2005-6, dated 02-08-2005. It appears that an appeal was pending before the Government under the Andhra Pradesh Cinemas (Regulation) Act, 1955. During the pendency of the appeal, the memo was sent to the appellant, in which the appellate authority expressed its doubts as to whether the appellant had lawful possession over the property, for which he sought an extention of cinematographic licence, therefore, the appellate authority asked the proprietor of the Cinema theatre to explain as to how he was entitled for renewal of the licence. This order was challenged in the writ petition. The learned Single Judge has gone in detail to the controversy, but in our view it was sufficient to refuse the writ petition only on the ground that the appeal was still pending before the Government and the impugned order had not decided any of the rights of the parties and it had merely asked the appellant to justify its case. We are told at the Bar that the appeal has also been finally heard on 19-10-2005 and the parties have been given time to submit written arguments. In this view of the matter, we dispose of the writ appeal and direct the parties to submit their written arguments within ten days from today, if they so choose, before the appellate authority, who may decide the matter on merits unmindful of the observations made by this Court or by the learned Single Judge. No order as to costs. _____________________ (Bilal Nazki, ACJ) 24th October, 2005 ___________________ (R.Subhash Reddy,J) Note: Issue C.C in two days B/o vrn
