No.8886 of 2010 (I) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 17th day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner says that he made an application to the 1st respondent for a licence as early as on 09/10/2009. However, without passing orders on the application, Ext.P1 notice was issued to him on the allegation that his workshop was functioning without licence. According to the petitioner, the allegation in the notice was factually incorrect also. The petitioner submits that on receipt of Ext.P1, the petitioner submitted Ext.P2 requesting to issue the licence, and thereupon by Ext.P4 dated 10/11/2009, he was informed that his licence was already rejected. The petitioner thereupon submitted Ext.P10 appeal before the 2nd respondent and even as on date, the appeal has not been disposed of. It is with this complaint, this writ petition has been filed. If as stated by the petitioner, Ext.P10 appeal has been received, the 2nd respondent should necessarily dispose of the said appeal. This the 2nd respondent shall do with notice to the WP(C) No.8886/2010 -2- petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
