PRAYER IN WP(MD)No.8067 of 2011 : Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for issuance of a writ of mandamus praying to call for the records from the respondent relating to the impugned order dated 11.07.2011 passed in Na.Ka.No.25890/E5/2011, quash the same and consequently direct the respondent to return the driving license of the petitioner to him. For Appellant : Mr.S.Arunachalam For Respondent : Mr.R.Karthikeyan Additional Government Pleader JUDGMENT [Judgment of the Court was delivered BY P.JYOTHIMANI, J] This Writ Appeal is directed against the order of the learned Single Judge dated 20.07.2011 made in W.P.(MD).No.8067 of 2011, by which the learned Single Judge, after considering the entire issue elaborately, has dismissed the said Writ Petition, which was filed by the appellant herein challenging the order of the respondent herein and for a direction to the respondent to return the driving license, which was denied on the ground that a complaint has been lodged against the appellant. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 2. Inasmuch as the said complaint is still pending as-on-date and the power of suspension of license is available to the respondent, which is not in dispute, we do not see any reason to interfere with the order of the learned Single Judge. 3. In the result, the Writ Appeal fails and the same stands dismissed. However, it is always open to the appellant to have the relief claimed, either after the criminal case has ended in his favour or after the investigation is over and final report is filed to the effect that no case is made out for the purpose of the Court to take cognizance. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are also dismissed.
