Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home. The learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Home have fairly conceded that the subject matter of this writ petition is squarely covered by an order dated 06.08.2009 passed by this Court in W.P.No.16110 of 2009, and submitted that similar orders may be passed in this writ petition also. The operative portion of the said order reads as under: "Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, this Court is of the view that the respondents cannot direct the petitioner to obtain the licence under Section 21(f) (1) of the Hyderabad City Police Act. In fact, this aspect was decided by this Court in number of cases and this Court has categorically held that the associations like the petitioner do not require any licence under the said provision of law so long as it carries on lawful activities like cultural activities, recreation activities, etc. Further, so long as the petitioner club continues to carry on lawful activities, the police shall not interfere with its day to day affairs and cause inconvenience to the members of the said club. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.” ______________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J. 2nd November, 2009. Note: Furnish C.C. by two days.
