Apparently, the reason is that the re-deployed workers were not being employed. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are prepared to employ the re-deployed workers. In such circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondents 2 and 3 to allow the petitioners to run the toddy shop in the premises specified in Exts.P1 and P2 licences, subject to the condition that the petitioners employ the re-deployed workers in terms of the licences and the Rules. Should there be any violation, it will be open to the respondents to issue written orders in accordance with law. (K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE) sb
