However,it is pointed out on behalf of the respondents that the licence was initially granted in the name of the person who was then running the saw mill and that the petitioner has purchased the saw mill in a sale conducted by the Debts Recovery Tribunal and Ext.P1 is the sale certificate. Therefore, it is pointed out that the licence which was originally granted and which was since expired, cannot be transferred to the petitioner. If at all the petitioner wants, an application for licence has to be made afresh and it has to be addressed to the Central Empowered Committee. I find merit in the submission. If the petitioner is interested in having licence, an application should be made to the Central Empowered Committee constituted by the Apex Court. With that liberty,writ petition is closed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
