DATE : 2ND APRIL , 2008 P.C.: The grievance of the petitioner is that his request for renewal of police licence has not been considered by the authorities concerned. He further states that an order passed by the competent authority on 10th September, 2007 directing the petitioner to close his restaurant within thirty days which order is complied with and as such, there is no impediment to grant the police licence to him. However, the learned counsel appearing for the State submits that dues amounting to Rs. 6,50,500/- or more are payable by the petitioner which he has refused to pay despite the demand notice dated 19th June, 2007. 2. Be that as it may, it is not necessary for us to go into any controversy arising in this petition. Suffice it to say that the appropriate authority may consider the request of the petitioner for grant and/or refusal of renewal request for police licence in accordance with law and order so passed will be communicated to the petitioner within six weeks from today. Writ petition stands disposed of. CHIEF JUSTICE V.M. KANADE, J.
