THE HON’BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.11544 of 2006 DATED : 15.06.2006 Between: Kitchigari Ramachandraiah S/o Seshaiah, R/o Poli Village, Rajampet Mandal, Kadapa District. … Petitioner And: The Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Secretary, Revenue (Ex III), Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. … Respondents ORDER: It is stated that the petitioner made an application for grant of bar licence at the premises bearing D.No.4/151, near RTC Bus Stand, Main Road, Rajampet, Kadapa District, on 16.06.2005. It is alleged that the application was forwarded to the Deputy Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise, Kurnool. However, he had returned the entire file without passing any order. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred a revision under Section 64 of the A.P. Excise Act before the first respondent. The first respondent, having entertained the revision and having called for the report from the Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise in the month of March, 2006, failed to pass any order so far. Hence, this writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents is arbitrary and illegal. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise appearing for the respondents, and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion as to the entitlement of the petitioner for grant of bar licence, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the revision pending on his file, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _________ 15.06.2006 sh
