WP(C) 2723/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY Heard Mr. S K Talukdar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. Also heard Ms. S Seal, learned standing counsel for the Excise Department. Pursuant to the tender notice dated 23.11.2009 (Annexure-1) issued by the Dy. Co mmissioner (Excise Branch), of Sivasagar District, the country spirit shop at Sl . No.18 i.e. Dillighat No.7 under Borhat P. S. has been settled with one Pabitra Das. It is alleged by the petitioner that the settlee, in stead of setting up t he country spirit shop in the notified place at No.18 Dillighat, set up the shop at Titolagarh Nagakata, which is at a distance of about 5 KMs from the notified location of the country spirit shop, mentioned in the tender notice. The petitioner on behalf of the residents of the locality where the shop has bee n unlawfully established, have filed a representation on 17.4.2010 to the Superi ntendent of Excise, Sivasagar pointing out that the shop cannot be relocated as because schools, namghars are located nearby, but it is submitted by Mr. Talukda r that the representation has not been received due consideration of the respond ent No.7 (Superintendent of Excise). Having regard to the nature of the allegation and after considering the submissi ons made by Ms. S Seal, the learned standing counsel, I deem it appropriate at t his stage to direct the respondent No.4 to deal with the representation filed by the petitioner against the relocation of the concerned country spirit shop. Accordingly the respondent No.4 is directed to consider and dispose of the said representation within a period of 2 weeks from the date of receipt of this Court ’s order. The petitioner is permitted to furnish a copy of the writ petition alo ng with a copy of the Court’s order to the respondent No.4, for enabling him to pass necessary order on the merit of the representation, as no opinion either wa y is expressed by the Court on the matter. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
