Government Pleader reported that petitioner is residing with her husband elsewhere and is not entitled to the licence. In any case, since the Collector has not passed orders, W.P. is disposed of directing the first respondent to pass orders after hearing the petitioner and in terms of the norms applicable. Petitioner's objection that the District Collector has no authority to decide will also be considered by the first respondent while passing orders. If he finds that he has no jurisdiction, he is free to refer the matter to the higher authority with his report. If the petitioner has any grievance petitioner can challenge the order.
