The grievance of the petitioner is that even after granting licence, other people are selling the very same articles for which the petitioner has been given licence, in the premises of the temple. His grievance is that despite complaints filed in this regard, the police is not taking any action to prevent unauthorised sale of articles. In view of the above, the 2nd respondent has filed Exts.P1 to P4 requests before the police to take appropriate action against the unauthorised sale. The petitioner seeks a direction to respondents 3 to 5 to take appropriate take action on Exts.P1 to P4. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the 1st respondent as also the learned Government Pleader. 3. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to take appropriate action on Exts.P1 to P4 petitions filed by the 2nd respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
